The Mathematic Model is like this:

1 2 × 2 3 × 3 4 × 4 5 × 5 6 × 6 7 × 7 8 × 8 9 × 9 10 × 1000 \boxed{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{6}{7} \times \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{8}{9} \times \frac{9}{10} \times 1000}

It is so simple just multiply all the fraction it will be:

1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9 × 10 \frac{1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5 \times 6 \times 7 \times 8 \times 9}{2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5 \times 6 \times 7 \times 8 \times 9 \times 10} = 1 10 × 1000 \frac{1}{10} \times 1000 = 100 \boxed{100}

Its easy if we multiply 1/2 * 2/3 it is 1/3 similarly 1/3 * 3/4 it is 1/4.......so on we can do this by keeping the numerator as one and changing the denominator so 1/10*1000=100 is in't that easy!!!!!!!!

Its too easy...first 9/10 of 1000 is 900 then 8/9 of 900=800;7/8of800=700..................2/3 of 300=200nd finally 1/2 of200 =100

Replacing o f \boxed{of} with × \boxed{×}

1 2 × 2 3 × 3 4 × 8 9 × 9 10 × 1000 \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} \times \cdots \cdots \frac{8}{9} \times \frac{9}{10} \times 1000

We see that the fractions cancel out:

We are left with:

1 10 × 1000 \frac{1}{10} \times 1000

Which equals 100 \boxed{100}

1/10x1000=100

It gets simple using the notation of factorial, thus, we've got:

(9!/10x9!)x1000

So, the result is 100

Starting from the last... 9/10 of 1000 becomes 900 A pattern is formed and at the end we have 1/2 of 200, i.e, 100

i guess this is the best way to solve this question

All the numerators and denominators of the given propee fractions cancel out out except 10 10 . So, the answer is 1000 10 = 100 \dfrac{1000}{10} = \color{#69047E}{\boxed{100}} .

Multiplying the fractions together gives

1 2 2 3 9 10 = 9 ! 10 ! \frac {1}{2} \cdot \frac {2}{3} \cdot \ldots \frac {9}{10} = \frac {9!}{10!}

This expands out to give

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 \frac {1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 \cdot 5 \cdot 6 \cdot 7 \cdot 8 \cdot 9}{2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 \cdot 5 \cdot 6 \cdot 7 \cdot 8 \cdot 9 \cdot 10}

From this everything except the 1 and 10 cancel out leaving

1 10 \frac {1}{10}

1 10 1000 = 100 \frac {1}{10} \cdot 1000 = 100

The answer is 100 100
