Question

The area of the Pacific Ocean is approximately 165 million sq km. Which of the following gives the expanded form of the area of the ocean?

• A. 1,000,000,000 + 600,000,000 + 50,000,000
• B. 100,000,000 + 60,000,000 + 5,000,000
• C. 1,000,000 + 600,000 + 50,000
• D. 10,000,000,000 + 6,000,000,000 + 500,000,000

Answer 1

The correct option is B 100,000,000 + 60,000,000 + 5,000,000

The area of the Pacific Ocean = 165 million sq km

Let us write the value in the place value chart.


This is equivalent to 100,000,000 + 60,000,000 + 5,000,000

Hence, the expanded form of 165 million = 100,000,000 + 60,000,000 + 5,000,000
