Question

What is the expanded form of 285? (1 point)

(5 x 100) + (8x10)+(2x1) (2x100)+(8×10) (2x100)+(8×10)+(5x1) (810)(21)

Answer 1

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:

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