The question
Question: write 4,305 in expanded form.
Write 4,305 in expanded form
1 Put the digits in the chart
Each digit has a place.
2 Find the value of each digit
The 4 is 4 thousands.
That is 4,000.
The 3 is 3 hundreds.
That is 300.
The 5 is 5 ones.
That is 5.
The 0 means no tens.
We leave it out of the sum.
3 Write it as a sum
Expanded form means we write the value of each digit, with + between them.
4,305 = 4,000 + 300 + 5
4 Check
We add them back: 4,000 and 300 and 5 make 4,305.
Yes!
It works.
4,000 + 300 + 5 = 4,305
Let's look back.
First: put the digits in the chart.
Then: find the value of each digit.
Then: write it as a sum.
Last: check.
Answer
4,305 = 4,000 + 300 + 5
