Expanded Form

  • Expanded Form of a number written in Standard Form is expressed as the sum of the place values of its digits
  • Example: 345 = 300 + 40 + 5
  • Example: 0.095 = 9/100 + 5/1,000 = 0.09 + 0.005
  • Example: 29.54 = 20 + 9 + 5/10 + 4/100 = 20 + 9 + 0.5 + 0.04
  • Consistent with the solutions provided by the Expanded Form Application, the shareable video below illustrates 3 different ways to write a number (3,952.189) in expanded form
