Question

Simplify 1000 2/3

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(1000 \frac{2}{3}\), you can convert it into an improper fraction or perform the multiplication directly.

First, let's convert \(1000\) into a fraction:

\[
1000 = \frac{1000 \times 3}{3} = \frac{3000}{3}
\]

Now add \( \frac{2}{3} \):

\[
1000 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3000}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3000 + 2}{3} = \frac{3002}{3}
\]

So, \(1000 \frac{2}{3}\) simplifies to \(\frac{3002}{3}\).

If you prefer a mixed number, you can convert it back:

\[
3002 \div 3 = 1000 \quad \text{(with a remainder of 2)}
\]

So it can be expressed as:

\[
1000 \frac{2}{3}
\]

Thus, the simplified form of \(1000 \frac{2}{3}\) is \(\frac{3002}{3}\) or \(1000 \frac{2}{3}\) as a mixed number, both of which are equivalent.
