Question

A box turtle Marcos found was 0.115 of a meter long. what is this length in expanded form?

Answer 1

`0.1+0.01+0.005`

Explanation:

We have been given that a box turtle Marcos found was 0.115 of a meter long. We are asked to find the length in expanded form.

We know that writing a numbers in expanded form means that we need to show the value of each digit in the given number.

We can see that our given number has 1 tenths, 1 hundredths and 5 thousandths.

1-tenths: 0.1

1-hundredths: 0.01

5-thousandths: 0.005

Now, we will add a plus sign between each number as:

`0.1+0.01+0.005`

Therefore, our given number is expanded form would be
`0.1+0.01+0.005`.

Answer 2

Expanded form of a number is a way of writing the numbers to see the independent digits.

Expanded form of 0.115 = (1 × 0.1) + (1 × 0.01) + (5 × 0.001)
