You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{320}{2} - 100\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{320}{2} - 100 = 60 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{320}{2}\) and \(\frac{-100}{1}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{320}{2} - 100 &= \frac{320 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} + \frac{-100 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{320 + -200}{2} \\ &= \frac{120}{2} \\&= 60 \end{aligned} \]
