The expanded form of the number 285 can be expressed by breaking it down into hundreds, tens, and units.

So, 285 can be expanded as:

\[ (2 \times 100) + (8 \times 10) + (5 \times 1) \]

This is equivalent to:

\[ (2 \times 100) + (8 \times 10) + (5 \times 1) \]

Out of the options given:

  1. (5 x 100) + (8 x 10) + (2 x 1) - incorrect order.
  2. (2 x 100) + (8 x 10) - missing units.
  3. (2 x 100) + (8 x 10) + (5 x 1) - correct.
  4. (810)(21) - not applicable.

Therefore, the correct expanded form of 285 is:

\[ (2 \times 100) + (8 \times 10) + (5 \times 1) \]
