Answer

$\frac{5}{16}$

Work Step by Step

$(\frac{3}{4})^2 - (\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6}) \div \frac{4}{3}$ = $(\frac{3}{4})^2 - (\frac{3}{6} - \frac{1}{6}) \div \frac{4}{3}$ = $(\frac{3}{4})^2 - \frac{2}{6} \div \frac{4}{3}$ = $\frac{9}{16} - \frac{2}{6} \div \frac{4}{3}$ = $\frac{9}{16} - \frac{2}{6} \div \frac{4}{3}$ = $\frac{9}{16} - \frac{2}{6} \times \frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{9}{16} - \frac{6}{24}$ = $\frac{9}{16} - \frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{9}{16} - \frac{4}{16}$ = $\frac{5}{16}$
