Answer 2

`(14)/(9) = 1(5)/(9) \\\\1.5`

Explanation:

`(1+1/3)^2-2/9\\\\= \left(1+(1)/(3)\right)^2-(2)/(9)\\\\\left(1+(1)/(3)\right)^2=(4^2)/(3^2)\\\\=(4^2)/(3^2)-(2)/(9)\\\\(4^2)/(3^2)=(16)/(9)\\\\=(16)/(9)-(2)/(9)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:(a)/(c)\pm (b)/(c)=(a\pm \:b)/(c)\\\\=(16-2)/(9)\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:16-2=14\\=(14)/(9)`
