remove extraneous last line
2 hours ago comment added Benjamin Wang Technically all the numbers you used are approximations, and to get the correct bound you need to add or remove (correctly, depending on where it appears in the inequality) 0.5 times the limit of precision. Anyway you'll end up with something like 16427/1824 = 9 + 1/1824 which means the inequality is much tougher than it appears.

6 hours ago comment added AxiomaticSystem The inequality reverses because both sides are divided by a negative value: the logarithm of a number less than 1.
8 hours ago comment added Olive Stemforn At the end of the last box you have the left-hand side is less than the right-hand side, but you started with the claim that the left-hand side is greater than the right-hand side.
