Fraction Calculator - Calculation: 3/8*100

Fraction calculator Enter fraction expression: 3/8*100 This calculator multiplies a fraction by integer or whole number. To multiple fraction by a whole number, we multiple the numerator by the whole number. Then simplify the result to the lowest terms or a mixed number.

The result:

3/8 * 100 = 75/2 = 37 1/2 = 37.5

The result spelled out in words is seventy-five halves (or thirty-seven and a half).

How do we solve fractions step by step?

1. Multiple: 3/8 * 100 = 3 · 100/8 · 1 = 300/8 = 75 · 4/2 · 4 = 75/2 The second operand is an integer. It is equivalent to the fraction 100/1. Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(300, 8) = 4. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 4 gives 75/2. In other words, three eighths multiplied by one hundred equals seventy-five halves.

Rules for expressions with fractions:

Fractions - write a forward slash to separate the numerator and the denominator, i.e., for five-hundredths, enter 5/100. If you use mixed numbers, leave a space between the whole and fraction parts. Mixed numerals (mixed numbers or fractions) - keep one space between the whole part and fraction and use a forward slash to input fraction i.e., 1 2/3 . A negative mixed fraction write for example as -5 1/2. A slash is both a sign for fraction line and division, use a colon (:) for division fractions i.e., 1/2 : 1/3. Decimals (decimal numbers) enter with a decimal dot . and they are automatically converted to fractions - i.e. 1.45.

The most common mnemonics for remembering this order are:

• PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
• BEDMAS: Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
• BODMAS: Brackets, Order (or "Of"), Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
• GEMDAS: Grouping symbols (brackets: (){}), Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
• MDAS: Multiplication and Division (same precedence), Addition and Subtraction (same precedence). MDAS is a subset of PEMDAS.

Important Notes: 1. Multiplication/Division vs. Addition/Subtraction: Always perform multiplication and division *before* addition and subtraction. 2. Left-to-Right Rule: Operators with the same precedence (e.g., + and -, or * and /) must be evaluated from left to right.
