Simplify \(\sqrt[3]{\frac{8}{27}} - (\frac{4}{9})^{-\frac{1}{2}}\)

  • A. \(\frac{-5}{6}\)
  • B. \(-\frac{4}{27}\)
  • C. \(0\)
  • D. \(\frac{2}{9}\)

Correct Answer: A. \(\frac{-5}{6}\)

Explanation

\(\sqrt[3]{\frac{8}{27}} - (\frac{4}{9})^{\frac{-1}{2}} \)

\(\frac{2}{3} - (\frac{9}{4})^{\frac{1}{2}}\)

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

= \(\frac{-5}{6}\)
