(152÷4)(100÷4) = 3825 when reduced to the simplest form. As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 152100 is also equal to 11325 when expressed as a mixed number.

1.52
1
= (1.52 × 100)
(1 × 100)

(152÷4)
(100÷4)
= 38
