Answer:

361/900

Explanation:

First, multiply 0.6 by (-1/3) to get -0.2 which equals (-1/5).

Now the equation is
(-(1)/(6)-0.2+1 )^(2)

Next, solve the inside of the parenthesis
-(1)/(6)-(1)/(5) +1 = (19)/(30)

Now the equation is
((19)/(30))^(2)

Finally we square this to get the simplified fraction of
(361)/(900)
