To write the number 7,921.995 in expanded form, we break it down by place value for both the whole number part (7,921) and the decimal part (0.995).
-
Whole Number Part (7,921):
- 7 is in the thousands place: \(7 \times 1000 = 7000\)
- 9 is in the hundreds place: \(9 \times 100 = 900\)
- 2 is in the tens place: \(2 \times 10 = 20\)
- 1 is in the ones place: \(1 \times 1 = 1\)
-
Decimal Part (0.995):
- 9 is in the tenths place: \(9 \times \frac{1}{10} = 0.9\)
- 9 is in the hundredths place: \(9 \times \frac{1}{100} = 0.09\)
- 5 is in the thousandths place: \(5 \times \frac{1}{1000} = 0.005\)
Putting it all together, we have: \[ (7 \times 1000) + (9 \times 100) + (2 \times 10) + (1 \times 1) + (9 \times \frac{1}{10}) + (9 \times \frac{1}{100}) + (5 \times \frac{1}{1000}) \]
In a cleaner format: \[ (7 \times 1000) + (9 \times 100) + (2 \times 10) + (1 \times 1) + (9 \times \frac{1}{10}) + (9 \times \frac{1}{100}) + (5 \times \frac{1}{1000}) \]
Therefore, the correct expanded form for 7,921.995 is: \[ (7 \times 1000) + (9 \times 100) + (2 \times 10) + (1 \times 1) + (9 \times \frac{1}{10}) + (9 \times \frac{1}{100}) + (5 \times \frac{1}{1000}) \]
