Question

Select the correct answer. Choose the expanded form of this number: 504,969 A. 504,000 + 900 + 60 + 9 B. 500,000 + 4,000 + 900 + 60 + 9 D. 5,000 + 4,000 + 900 + 60 + 9

Answer 1

In an expanded form, we are breaking up a number according to their place value.

For 504,969, we break-up each digit according to their place value except zero (0) because it has no significant value, hence, we get,

`500,000\text{ + 4,000 + 900 + 60 + 9 = 504,969}`

From the breakdown we made, B is the answer among the choices.
