Question

Write 230.071 in expanded form

Answer 1

230.071 = 200 + 30 + 0.07 + 0.001

Explanation:

First, make the following table.

Hundreds: 2

Tens: 3

Ones: 0

Decimal: .

Tenths: 0

Hundredths: 7

Thousandths: 1

With the help of this table, now it is easy to write the expanded form as follows

230.071 = 200 + 30 + 0.07 + 0.001

Answer 2

The third number to the left of the decimal is the hundreds, so you have 200.

The 2nd number to the left of the decimal is the tens, so you have 30.

The first number to the left of the decimal is the ones, and you have 0 ones, so you have 0.

The first number to the right of the decimal is the tenths place, which is 0 so it is 0.0

The second number to the right is the hundredths place, which is 0.07

The third number is the thousandths place, which is 0.001

The expanded form becomes:

200 + 30 + 0 + 0.0 + 0.07 + 0.001
