What is the expanded form of 5.3?

Answer 1

#5.3 = color(blue)5 xx 1 + color(blue)3 xx 1/10#

Expanded notation is equivalent to extensively reducing or deducing a number in the format of hundreds, tens, and units to match the specified value.

As an illustration

Expanded notation of #4025#

#4025 = color(red)4 xx 1000 + color(red)0 xx 100 + color(red)2 xx 10 + color(red)5 xx 1#

Take note

#4025 -> "Standard Notation"#

#4 xx 1000 + 0 xx 100 + 2 xx 10 + 5 xx 1 -> "Expanded Notation"#

Right now;

#5.3 = color(blue)5 xx 1 + color(blue)3 xx 1/10#
