Question

What decimal is represented by this expanded form?

5 x 10,000 + 3 x 1,000 + 2 x 10 + 8 x 1 + 6 1/1,000 + 4 x 1/,000

Answer 1

5 x 10,000 + 3 x 1,000 + 2 x 10 + 8 x 1 +
`6 (1)/(1000)` + 4 x
`(1)/(1000)`

you want to make the
`6 (1)/(1000)` into a whole number:

`6 (1)/(1000)` = 6.001

new equation:
5 x 10,000 + 3 x 1,000 + 2 x 10 + 8 x 1 + 6.001 + 4 x
`(1)/(1000)`
50,000 + 3 x 1,000 + 2 x 10 + 8 x 1 + 6.001 + 4 x
`(1)/(1000)`
50,000 + 3,000 + 2 x 10 + 8 x 1 + 6.001 + 4 x
`(1)/(1000)`
50,000 + 3,000 + 20 + 8 x 1 + 6.001 + 4 x
`(1)/(1000)`
50,000 + 3,000 + 20 + 8 + 6.001 + 4 x
`(1)/(1000)`
50,000 + 3,000 + 20 + 8 + 6.001 + .004
53,000 + 20 + 8 + 6.001 + .004
53,020 + 8 + 6.001 + .004
53,028 + 6.001 + .004
53,034 + .004
=53,034.005
