$$( 2 - \frac { 1 } { 2 } ) \times 400$$

Evaluate

$$600$$

Solution Steps

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{4}{2}.

$$\left(\frac{4}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\right)\times 400$$

Since \frac{4}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{4-1}{2}\times 400$$

Subtract 1 from 4 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{2}\times 400$$

Express \frac{3}{2}\times 400 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{3\times 400}{2}$$

Multiply 3 and 400 to get 1200.

$$\frac{1200}{2}$$

Divide 1200 by 2 to get 600.

$$600$$
