An important property to know about fractions is the following: \(x^2 < x < \sqrt{x}\)
Then option B < \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Option A: \(\frac{4}{(2/3) }\) - \(\frac{ 2}{3*4}\)
Another nice property to know about fractions -> dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of that fraction.
Then, \(\frac{4}{(2/3)}\) is the same as \(\frac{4 * 3}{2}\) this is equal to 12/2 = 6
Option A is then 6 minus a number less than one
Option B is a very small number
A > B
Then option B < \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Option A: \(\frac{4}{(2/3) }\) - \(\frac{ 2}{3*4}\)
