Final answer:

To write the expression in standard form, perform the multiplications and subtractions, combine the results, convert to a fraction with a common denominator, combine the fractions, simplify, and reduce the fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the given expression in standard form, first perform the multiplications and subtractions:



  1. 8 x 10 = 80
  2. 1 x 1/10 = 1/10
  3. 2 x 1/100 = 1/50



Now, combine the results:



80 + 1/10 - 1/50



To add or subtract fractions, all the fractions need to have a common denominator. The common denominator for 10 and 50 is 50. Convert 80 to a fraction with a denominator of 50:



80/1 x 50/50 = 4000/50



Now, the expression becomes:



4000/50 + 5/50 - 1/50



Combine the fractions:



(4000 + 5 - 1)/50



Simplify:



4004/50



Finally, reduce the fraction:



2002/25
