Question

Which number will take less time to write in expanded form, 800,000,000 or 267,423

Answer 1

800,000,000, because it is just eight hundred million. The other number has lots of different place values and 800,000,000 is just filled with zeros.

800,000,000=800,000,000
200,000 + 60,000 + 7,000 + 400 + 20 + 3= 267,432

You read these two and think why the answer is 800,000,000

Answer 2

800,000,000 will take less time to write in expanded form.

Explanation:

Given : Numbers 800,000,000 or 267,423

To find : Which number will take less time to write in expanded form ?

Solution :

First we write the numbers in expanded form,

1)
`800,000,000 =8* 100000000+0* 10000000+...`

As rest term are 0.

`800,000,000 =8* 100000000`

2)
`267,423 =2* 100000+6* 10000+7* 1000+4* 100+2* 10+3* 1`

As we can see that writing 800,000,000 in expanded form is much easier than 267,423 in expanded form as in 800,000,000 except 8 rest all terms automatically became zero.

Therefore, 800,000,000 will take less time to write in expanded form.
