Question

What is the expanded form of 2,483?

Answer 1

Answer:

  2,483 = 2,000 + 400 + 80 + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

An "expanded form" shows the value of each of the digits in the unexpanded form. That is the case for the expanded form shown above.

___

The equal sign is not violated by properly expanding the form of the number. In answer choices 2 and 3, the expression is simply NOT TRUE. (The equal sign is violated.)

In answer choice 4, the number is partially expanded, but 83 is left unexpanded. This may be useful for some purposes, but cannot be considered "the expanded form."
