Question

What is the expanded form of $5.038$?

Answer 1

The expanded form of $5.038$

The expanded form of decimal numbers can be obtained by multiplying each of the decimal digits with increasing exponent values of $\frac{1}{10}$.

Calculate the expanded form of $5.038$:

$5.038=5\times 1+0\times \frac{1}{10}+3\times \frac{1}{100}+8\times \frac{1}{1000}$

Hence, the required expanded form of $5.038$ is $5.038=5\times 1+0\times \frac{1}{10}+3\times \frac{1}{100}+8\times \frac{1}{1000}$.
