Two point seven tenth eight hundredth
To write 2.78 in expanded form, you'll need to break down the number into its place values. Here's how you can do it:
2.78 = 2 + 0.7 + 0.08
In this expanded form, the 2 represents the number in the "ones" place, the 0.7 represents the number in the "tenths" place, and the 0.08 represents the number in the "hundredths" place.

2.0 + .7 + .08
If your teacher wants the answer in words, change the numbers to their names, for example, .7 would be seven tenths
