Question

Write the following decimal numbers in the expanded form: $20.03$

Answer 1

Expand $20.03$ in decimal form:

When writing decimals in expanded form, each number is written according to its place value. This is accomplished by multiplying each number by its place value and then summing the results.

$20.03=\left(2\times 10\right)+\left(0\times 1\right)+\left(0\times \frac{1}{10}\right)+\left(3\times \frac{1}{100}\right)$

Hence, expanded form of $20.03$ is $\left(2\times 10\right)+\left(0\times 1\right)+\left(0\times \frac{1}{10}\right)+\left(3\times \frac{1}{100}\right)$.
