Lesson 3: Decimals in expanded formDecimals in expanded form review
Review writing decimals in expanded form, and try some practice problems.
Expanded form
Expanded form is a way to write numbers by adding the value of its digits.
We can use a place value chart to think of the value of a number's digit.
Example
Let's write start color #11accd, 3, end color #11accd, point, start color #7854ab, 4, end color #7854ab, start color #1fab54, 0, end color #1fab54, start color #ca337c, 5, end color #ca337c in expanded form.
Ones | . | Tenths | Hundredths | Thousandths |
---|---|---|---|---|
start color #11accd, 3, end color #11accd | . | start color #7854ab, 4, end color #7854ab | start color #1fab54, 0, end color #1fab54 | start color #ca337c, 5, end color #ca337c |
3, point, 405, equals, start color #11accd, 3, end color #11accd, start text, space, o, n, e, s, end text plus, start color #7854ab, 4, end color #7854ab, start text, space, t, e, n, t, h, s, end text, plus start color #1fab54, 0, end color #1fab54, start text, space, h, u, n, d, r, e, d, t, h, s, end text, plus, start color #ca337c, 5, end color #ca337c, start text, space, t, h, o, u, s, a, n, d, t, h, s, end text
empty space, equals, left parenthesis, start color #11accd, 3, end color #11accd, times, 1, right parenthesis, plus, left parenthesis, start color #7854ab, 4, end color #7854ab, times, start fraction, 1, divided by, 10, end fraction, right parenthesisplus, left parenthesis, start color #1fab54, 0, end color #1fab54, times, start fraction, 1, divided by, 100, end fraction, right parenthesis, plus, left parenthesis, start color #ca337c, 5, end color #ca337c, times, start fraction, 1, divided by, 1000, end fraction, right parenthesis
3, point, 405 in expanded form is start color #11accd, 3, end color #11accd, plus, start color #7854ab, start fraction, 4, divided by, 10, end fraction, end color #7854ab, plus, start color #ca337c, start fraction, 5, divided by, 1000, end fraction, end color #ca337c.

- Why are decimals so hard? I mean I get all the practice and they just seem so hard once I do them.(16 votes)
- Sometimes the concepts give us fits and are hard to understand. You just need to keep practicing, and then before too long you'll have that "AHA" moment where it will all make sense.
Sometimes I recommend using money to work with decimals. After all, $3.95 and $79.50 are decimals, and if you practice adding money (two items at $3.95), how much will your bill be? If you practice subtracting money (something costs $9.37 and you give a $10.00 bill, how much change will you get)
Keep at it. You can do it!!(63 votes)
- I don't understand the practice for Decimals in expanded form, Can someone help(19 votes)
- Basically in a decimal, there are 4 places,
ones. tenths | hundredths | thousandths
so for example here is a decimal, 4.209
4, is in the ones place
2, is in the tenths place
0, is in the hundredths place
9, is in the thousandths place.
So expanded form is just add the ones, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths place together
For example,
We have our decimal 4.209,
so the expanded form is 4 + 0.2 + 0.00 0.009(29 votes)
