You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{100}{50} - 4\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{100}{50} - 4 = -2 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{100}{50}\) and \(\frac{-4}{1}\) is \(50\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{100}{50} - 4 &= \frac{100 \cdot 1}{50 \cdot 1} + \frac{-4 \cdot 50}{1 \cdot 50} \\ &= \frac{100 + -200}{50} \\ &= \frac{-100}{50} \\&= -2 \end{aligned} \]
