| ① | Multiply $100$ by $ \dfrac{a}{a} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 100a }{ a } $. Step 1: Write $ 100 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 100 \cdot \frac{a}{a} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{100}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{a}{a} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 100 \cdot a }{ 1 \cdot a } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 100a }{ a } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Add $10a^2$ and $ \dfrac{100a}{a} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 10a^3+100a } }{ a }$. Step 1: Write $ 10a^2 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ③ | Add $ \dfrac{10a^3+100a}{a} $ and $ 10 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 10a^3+110a } }{ a }$. Step 1: Write $ 10 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
