Question

Show or explain how to write 8,523 in expanded form using 15 hundreds

Answer 1

7,000 + 1,500 + 20 + 3 = 8,523

Answer 2

7 thousands + 15 hundreds + 2 tens + 3 ones = 8523

Explanation:

15 hundreds is equal to 1500, when subtracting that from the total of 8523, you get 7023 which still needs to be written in expanded form. The remainder can be written as the sum of:

• 7 thousands
• 2 tens
• 3 ones

Then adding the 15 hundreds that were given, will give a total 8523.
