Explanation:
Let's go through the calculations step by step:
1. 8 multiplied by 12 is equal to 96, not 1000.
2. For the expression 8 × (3/2) × (2/3), we can simplify it as follows:
- 8 × (3/2) = 12
- 12 × (2/3) = 8
So, the result is 8.
3. If we have 8x = 100, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 8. This gives us x = 12.5, not 25/2.
