If this is supposed to be

 

[(-2/5)(log2 (2)] / 5    -  [(3/5) log2 (3)] / 5       we have

 

(-2/25) (1)  -  (3/25) [ log (3) ]  /  [ log(2)    ≈ -0.2701955

 

 However, if this is supposed to be

 

(-2/5) log2 (2/5)  - (3/5)log2 (3/5)    then we have

 

(-2/5) log2 (0.4)  - (3/5)log2(0.6)  ≈  0.970951

 

[ The use of parentheses is important in these problems.....!!!! ]
