jomorgan: what is the value of one-half of two-thirds of three-quarters of four-fifths of seven-eighths of nine-tenths of one thousand?
Hi jomorgan,
It is just
1/2 * 2/3 * 3/4 * 4/5 * 7/8 * 9/10 * 1000
The 2s cancel out
the 3s cancel out
the 4s cancel out
so it simplifies to
1/5 * 7/8 * 9/10 * 1000 = 157 and a 1/2
