Question

Courtney ate thirty-six hundredths of a pound of strawberries. How is this number written in expanded notation?

Answer 1

We have the following:

The first thing we have to do is express the value of thirty-six hundredths as a number, like this

`0.36`

Now we calculate the extended form

`\begin{gathered} 0.36=0.30+0.06 \\ 0.30=3\cdot0.1 \\ 0.06=6\cdot0.01 \\ 0.36=(3\cdot0.1)+(6\cdot0.01) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the correct answer is the third option
