Evaluate (1/3)^2 + 1/4 - (4/3)^2 * (1/2)^3
------------
(1/9) + (1/4) - (16/9)*(1/8)
(1/9) + (1/4) - (2/9)
[4 + 9 - 8]/36
5/36

look the same as this, remember "MDAS" rule
%281%2F3%29%2A%281%2F3%29+1%2F4 - %284%2F3%29%2A%284%2F3%29%2A%281%2F2%29%2A%281%2F2%29%2A%281%2F2%29
%281%2F9%29+%281%2F4%29 - %2816%2F72%29
%28%284%2B9%29%2F36%29 - %2816%2F72%29
%2813%2F36%29 - %2816%2F72%29
%28%2826-16%29%2F72%29%29
%2810%2F72%29
%285%2F36%29 -------> Final answer
Thank you,
