You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(50 + \frac{100}{2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 50 + \frac{100}{2} = 100 \]


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