Evaluate 
Solution I
Simplify; no denominator conversion needed: ![\[\frac{48}{32} + \frac{24}{16}=\frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \boxed{3}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/7/1/6/716ec936a2c62395a84fadfe52b137eab0761a06.png)
Unconfirmed Problems
Problem
What is the 
term? ![\[(100-96)+100+(96-92)+94+(92-88)+88+\hdots+?+(4-0)\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/8/8/f88425f55a1a400f2f6c44318dd12e4df4fcf617.png)
Solution
We first wish to find the number of "telescoping" terms. The first one is 
minus something, so we can label it 
The last term is 
minus something, so we can label it 
Thus there are 
terms. Therefore, there are 21 gaps between the terms in parentheses. Since there is one less of the terms not in parentheses, then there are 20 gaps between these terms in total. And since 
is subtracted each time for the terms not in parentheses, then we have to subtract 
from : ![\[100-120=\boxed{-20}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/7/a/4/7a4d8b725a685780fec1a079fa1690a3dfb213e4.png)
Unsolved Problems
No Unsolved Problems.
