Question

Write each of the following decimals in expanded form:
(i) 67.83
(ii) 283.61
(iii) 24.675
(iv) 0.294
(v) 8.006
(vi) 4615.72

Answer 1

(i) 67.83
= 6 tens + 7 ones + 8 tenths + 3 hundredths
= $60+7+\frac{8}{10}+\frac{3}{100}$

(ii) 283.61
= 2 hundreds + 8 tens + 3 ones + 6 tenths + 1 hundredths
= $200+80+3+\frac{6}{10}+\frac{1}{100}$

(iii) 24.675
= 2 tens + 4 ones + 6 tenths + 7 hundredths + 5 thousandths
= $20+4+\frac{6}{10}+\frac{7}{100}+\frac{5}{1000}$

(iv) 0.294
= 2 tenths + 9 hundredths + 4 thousandths
= $\frac{2}{10}+\frac{9}{100}+\frac{4}{1000}$

(v) 8.006
= 8 ones + 0 tenths + 0 hundredths + 6 thousandths
= $8+\frac{0}{10}+\frac{0}{100}+\frac{6}{1000}$

(vi) 4615.72
= 4 thousands + 6 hundreds + 1 tens + 5 ones + 7 tenths + 2 hundredths
= $4000+600+10+5+\frac{7}{10}+\frac{2}{100}$
