Question

What is the expanded form of 5.3?

Answer 1

`5.3 = color(blue)5 xx 1 + color(blue)3 xx 1/10`

Explanation:

Expanded notation is like reducing or deducing a number expansively in the Hundreds Tens and Units format to match the given value.

For example;

Expanded notation of `4025`

`4025 = color(red)4 xx 1000 + color(red)0 xx 100 + color(red)2 xx 10 + color(red)5 xx 1`

Note

`4025 -> "Standard Notation"`

`4 xx 1000 + 0 xx 100 + 2 xx 10 + 5 xx 1 -> "Expanded Notation"`

Now;

`5.3 = color(blue)5 xx 1 + color(blue)3 xx 1/10`
