1. The problem is to simplify the expression $100^{-\frac{3}{2}}$ and express the answer with positive exponents.
2. Recall the rule for negative exponents: $a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$.
3. Apply this rule to the expression:
$$100^{-\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{1}{100^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$
4. Next, simplify $100^{\frac{3}{2}}$. Recall that $a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a^m}$.
5. So,
$$100^{\frac{3}{2}} = \left(100^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^3 = (\sqrt{100})^3$$
6. Since $\sqrt{100} = 10$, we have
$$ (10)^3 = 1000 $$
7. Substitute back:
$$\frac{1}{100^{\frac{3}{2}}} = \frac{1}{1000}$$
8. Therefore, the simplified expression with positive exponents is:
$$\boxed{\frac{1}{1000}}$$
