What is the expanded form of 285?
The expanded form of 285 is 200 + 80 + 5.
Write 1,976 in expanded form.
To find the expanded form of a number, we need to break it down into its place values.
The number 285 has three digits: 2, 8, and 5.
The place values of each digit in 285 are as follows:
- The digit 2 is in the hundreds place.
- The digit 8 is in the tens place.
- The digit 5 is in the ones place.
Therefore, we can write the expanded form of 285 as:
2 x 100 + 8 x 10 + 5 x 1
Simplifying the equation gives us:
(2 x 100) + (8 x 10) + (5 x 1) = 200 + 80 + 5 = 285
So, the expanded form of the number 285 is 200 + 80 + 5.
To find the expanded form of a number, we need to break it down to its place values. In the number 285, the digit 5 is in the ones place, the digit 8 is in the tens place, and the digit 2 is in the hundreds place.
To write the expanded form, we write each digit multiplied by its respective place value. So for 285, the expanded form is:
2 × 100 (where 2 is in the hundreds place)
+ 8 × 10 (where 8 is in the tens place)
+ 5 × 1 (where 5 is in the ones place)
Simplifying this equation gives us:
200 + 80 + 5
Therefore, the expanded form of 285 is 200 + 80 + 5.
