7.37
Is this the correct answer?
7+3/10+7/100
Yes.
OR
7 + 0.3 + 0.07
Yes or it can be solved as 7 + 0.3 + 0.07
To write a decimal number in expanded form, we break down the different place values of the digits. Let's start with the number 7.37.
The digit 7 is in the ones place, so we can write it as 7 * 1.
The digit 3 is in the tenths place, so we can write it as 3 * 0.1.
The digit 7 is in the hundredths place, so we can write it as 7 * 0.01.
Putting it all together, we have 7 * 1 + 3 * 0.1 + 7 * 0.01.
Simplifying the expression, we get 7 + 0.3 + 0.07, which equals 7.37.
Therefore, the correct expanded form of 7.37 is 7 * 1 + 3 * 0.1 + 7 * 0.01.
As for the given answer, 7 + 3/10 + 7/100, it is the same as the expanded form we derived earlier. The fraction 3/10 is equivalent to 0.3 when simplified, and the fraction 7/100 is equivalent to 0.07. So, both expressions represent the same decimal value of 7.37.
