After Video
How do you write a 3-digit number in expanded form?ANSWERWrite the value of each digit. Then add them together. For example, in 123, the 1 represents a value of 100, the 2 represents a value of 20, and the 3 represents a value of 3. Add the values together to get the expanded form, 100 + 20 + 3.
First, write the number of hundreds using words. Then, write the name of the number after the hundreds place. For example, 123 has a 1 in the hundreds place, so write “one hundred.” Then write the number after the hundreds place, “twenty-three.” In word form, 123 is one hundred twenty-three.
100 + 90 + 7; one hundred ninety-seven
300 + 10; three hundred ten
900 + 6; 906
