Word form: Three and four tenths. Expanded form: 3.0 + 0.4 (zeros are not necessary) hope it helped!

Answer

Part 1: Three and four tenths.

Part 2: 3.0 + 0.4

Explanation.

When writing numbers in words we must use the concept of place values. In this case for instance, the place value of 3 is ones and the place value of 4 is tenths hence called the "four tenths".

3.4 can be written as the sum of 3 and 0.4. So 3.4 in its expanded form is (3+0.4).
