Answer 1

Answer:

800,000,000 will take less time to write in expanded form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Numbers 800,000,000 or 267,423

To find : Which number will take less time to write in expanded form ?

Solution :

First we write the numbers in expanded form,

1) $800,000,000 =8\times 100000000+0\times 10000000+...$

As rest term are 0.

$800,000,000 =8\times 100000000$

2) $267,423 =2\times 100000+6\times 10000+7\times 1000+4\times 100+2\times 10+3\times 1$

As we can see that writing 800,000,000 in expanded form is much easier than 267,423 in expanded form as in 800,000,000 except 8 rest all terms automatically became zero.

Therefore, 800,000,000 will take less time to write in expanded form.

Answer 2

800,000,000, because it is just eight hundred million. The other number has lots of different place values and 800,000,000 is just filled with zeros.

800,000,000=800,000,000
200,000 + 60,000 + 7,000 + 400 + 20 + 3= 267,432

You read these two and think why the answer is 800,000,000
