Option B

It can be rewrite as:

[2(2.00012)-4(2.00012)]/3(2.00012)

We have by removing 2.00012 on each item (2-4)/3 = -2/3

­\(\frac{4.00024 - 8.00048}{6.00036} = \)

A. \(-\frac{3}{2}\)
B. \(-\frac{2}{3}\)
C. \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
D. \(-\frac{1}{3}\)
E. \(-\frac{1}{6}\)­
­The decimals are same in each of the numbers, so that's not an issue. This leaves us with simple fraction where the numberator comes out to be ~=4 and denominator is already ~=6.

Dividing we get 2/3.(need not bother about the decimals we are left with as they too are in the ratio 2/3(24/36))

Answer B.

C. \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
D. \(-\frac{1}{3}\)
E. \(-\frac{1}{6}\)­
­The solution can be found by taking (4*(1,00006) - 8*(1,00006) )/ 6*(1,00006)
This is the easiest way :)
