Question

rewrite the expression in the simplest form

100 3/2

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 100 \frac{3}{2} \), you can convert the mixed number into an improper fraction and then multiply:

1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
\[
100 \frac{3}{2} = 100 + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{100 \times 2}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{200}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{200 + 3}{2} = \frac{203}{2}
\]

Thus, the simplest form of \( 100 \frac{3}{2} \) is \( \frac{203}{2} \).
