= \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{\frac{π}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2}}{( \frac{π}{3} ) ^{2}}

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2}}{( \frac{π}{3} ) ^{2}} : \frac{3 ( π - 3 3 )}{2 π ^{2}}

\frac{\frac{π}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2}}{( \frac{π}{3} ) ^{2}}

(\frac{π}{3})^{2} = \frac{π ^{2}}{3 ^{2}}

(\frac{π}{3})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{π ^{2}}{3 ^{2}}

= \frac{\frac{π}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2}}{\frac{π ^{2}}{3 ^{2}}}

\frac{π}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{π}{6}

\frac{π}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{2}

Multiply fractions:

\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}

= \frac{π 1}{3 \cdot 2}

Multiply:

π 1 = π

= \frac{π}{3 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 2 = 6

= \frac{π}{6}

= \frac{\frac{π}{6} - \frac{3}{2}}{\frac{π ^{2}}{3 ^{2}}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b}

= \frac{( \frac{π}{6} - \frac{3}{2} ) \cdot 3 ^{2}}{π ^{2}}

Join

\frac{π}{6} - \frac{3}{2} : \frac{π - 3 3}{6}

For

\frac{3}{2} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

3

\frac{3}{2} = \frac{3 \cdot 3}{2 \cdot 3} = \frac{3 \cdot 3}{6}

= \frac{π}{6} - \frac{3 \cdot 3}{6}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{π - 3 \cdot 3}{6}

= \frac{3 ^{2} \cdot \frac{π - 3 3}{6}}{π ^{2}}

3^{2} = 9

= \frac{9 \cdot \frac{π - 3 3}{6}}{π ^{2}}

Multiply

\frac{π - 3 \cdot 3}{6} \cdot 9 : \frac{3 ( π - 3 3 )}{2}

\frac{π - 3 \cdot 3}{6} \cdot 9

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{( π - 3 \cdot 3 ) \cdot 9}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= \frac{3 ( π - 3 3 )}{2}

= \frac{\frac{3 ( π - 3 3 )}{2}}{π ^{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{3 ( π - 3 3 )}{2 π ^{2}}

= \frac{3 ( π - 3 3 )}{2 π ^{2}}
