(8 x 100) + (5 x 10) + (3 x 1) + [1x (1/10)] + [2 x (1/100)]

Answer 1

Explanation:

The correct expression to represent the number 853.12 in expanded form is:

(8 x 100) + (5 x 10) + (3 x 1) + [

This is because each digit in the number represents a certain place value in the decimal system:

The digit "8" represents 8 hundreds (800).

The digit "5" represents 5 tens (50).

The digit "3" represents 3 ones (3).

The digit "1" after the decimal point represents 1 tenth (0.1).

The digit "2" after that represents 2 hundredths (0.02).

When you add these values together, you get the number 853.12. So, the expanded form accurately represents the original number using its place values.
