Answer 2

Answer:

$(-\frac{2}{3}) ^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since -2/3 is getting multiplied twice, we can write this as an expression with an exponent:

$-\frac{2}{3}^2$

I hope this helps.

Side Note: If we evaluated the expression we would get 4/9.

$-\frac{2}{3}^2\\\\1\frac{2^2}{3^2}\\\\\frac{4}{9}$
