Question

A box turtle marcos found is 0.115 of a meter long.what is this length in expanded form

Answer 1

We are given length of turtle marcos = 0.115 of a meter.

We need to write this length in expanded form.

We know we have, first digit on left side of decimal is the value of ones in place value chart.

On the right side of decmal we read numbers as Tenths, Hundredths, Thousandths, Ten Thousandths.

We have

0 at Ones place, then decimal, then 1 at tenths place, again 1 at hundredths place and then 5 at thousandths place.

0.115 = 0 + 1 tenth + 1 hundredth + 5 thousandths.

Or 0.115 = 0 + 0.1 + 0.01 + 0.005.

Therefore, final expanded form is 0 + 0.1 + 0.01 + 0.005.
