You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(3 \cdot {\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)}^{2} - 5 \cdot \frac{1}{3} - 2\)

MathBot Answer:

\[3 \cdot {\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)}^{2} - 5 \cdot \frac{1}{3} - 2 = - \frac{10}{3} = -3.\overline{3}\]

\[\begin{aligned}3 \cdot {\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)}^{2} - 5 \cdot \frac{1}{3} - 2& = 3 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2} - \frac{5}{3} - 2\\& = \frac{3}{9} - \frac{5}{3} - 2\\& = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{5}{3} - 2\\& = - \frac{4}{3} - 2\\& = - \frac{10}{3}\end{aligned}\]
