Let's use the variable d to represent the distance between the cities.

The expression "one-fourth the distance between two cities" is equivalent to "(1/4)d"

This expression is 100 miles less than two-thirds of the distance, that is, "(2/3)d - 100"

These two expressions are equal, so we can write the equation:


(1)/(4)d=(2)/(3)d-100

Therefore the correct option is B (second one).
