Answer:

3

Explanation:

2+ (-2/3)^2 ÷ 1/3

make -2/3 postive because its being raised by an even exponent

you never divide by fractors so make 1/3 into 3 and make it multiplication

2+ (2/3)^2 × 3

raise the fraction to the power of 2

2+ (4/9)× 3

cancel out the GCF

2+ 4/3

add

10/3

simplify

3.3 ≅ 3
