You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(100\frac{1}{2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 100\frac{1}{2} = \frac{201}{2} = 100.5 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{100}{1}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} 100\frac{1}{2} &= \frac{100 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{200 + 1}{2} \\ &= \frac{201}{2} \end{aligned} \]
