Because 3^2 = 9
When you do (⅓)^2 what you are really doing is
(1^2)/(3^2) = 1/9


If you have (⅔)^2 you do
(2^2)/(3^2) = 4/9

Fractions get smaller because the denominator is also being squared which makes the denominator get bigger and when the denominator is bigger, you are dividing by a larger number which gives you a smaller answer. Whereas when you raise a whole number to an exponent, only the numerator get bigger because the denominator is 1 and 1 raised to any exponent is still 1

3^2 = (3^2)/(1^2) = 9/1 = 9

Long division:-

x - 3 )4x^4 - 6x^3 + 0x^2 + 6x + 3 ( 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 18x + 60 <--- Quotient.

         4x^4 - 12x^3

                                   18x^2 + 6x

                                    18x^2 - 54x

                                                 60x + 3

                                                  60x - 180
