Answer:
1.25=1+0.2+0.005

Explanation:

Given : When measuring board footage for some exotic woods, a carpenter must use 1.25 inches for thickness rather than 1 inch in her calculations.

To write : 1.25 in expanded form.

When we write a decimal number in expanded form, we are showing the place value of each digit.

Now, 1.25 can be written as :


1.25=1+0.2+0.005

Hence, the expanded form of
1.25=1+0.2+0.005
