Question

Write the following decimal number in the expanded form: $200.03$

Answer 1

Hint: Write each place value into multiple of something. Now, the hack is you need to find that something.

We can write the given number into expanded form as follows:
$200.03 = 2 \times 100 + 0 \times 10 + 0 \times 1 + 0 \times \frac{1}{{10}} + 3 \times \frac{1}{{100}}$
Note: Each value has to be written in this manner even if it is zero.
