Question

Charles, Zayeer, and Kali are trying to simplify 1,000 2/3. Charles says the correct simplification is 10 because 1,000=10⋅10⋅10 and 1,000 2/3=10. Zayeer says the correct simplification is 1,000 because 1,000=10⋅10⋅10→1,000 2/3=10⋅10⋅10=1,000. Kali says the correct simplification is 100 because 1,000=10⋅10⋅10→1,000 2/3=10⋅10=100.

Answer 1

None of them has the correct value.

To simplify 1,000 2/3, we first convert the fraction to a decimal:

2/3 = 0.666 (rounded to three decimal places)

Then we multiply this decimal by 1,000:

1,000 * 0.666 = 666.667 (rounded to three decimal places)

Therefore, the correct simplification of 1,000 2/3 is 666.667.
