Question

the expanded form of 23.75 is (2×10)+(3×1)+(7×1/10)+(5×1/100)
why isnt thee answer (2×10)+(3×1)+(7×1/101)+(5×1/10 sq2) explain in a simple sentence

Answer 1

The answer uses powers of ten to represent each digit's place value, so it correctly shows the tenths as \( \frac{7}{10} \) and the hundredths as \( \frac{5}{100} \), not \( \frac{7}{101} \) or \( \frac{5}{10 \sqrt{2}} \), which don't relate to the decimal system.
