Maths word form standard form and expand form
Yes, you are correct! The expanded form of the number 3,456 is "3 thousand, 4 hundred, and 56." Let me explain how to break down the number to get the expanded form.
To write a number in expanded form, we separate each digit according to its place value.
In the number 3,456, we have:
- The digit 3 is in the thousands place.
- The digit 4 is in the hundreds place.
- The digit 5 is in the tens place.
- The digit 6 is in the ones place.
So, when we expand the number, we read it as "3 thousand, 4 hundred, 5 tens, and 6 ones" or simply "3 thousand, 4 hundred, and 56".
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
I would write this as
3000 + 400 + 50 + 6
