What is the expanded form of 285?

Question

options:

(8×10)+(2×1)

(2×100)+(8×10)

(5×100)+(8×10)+(2×1)

(2×100)+(8×10)+(5×1)

Answer 1

The expanded form of 285 can be expressed by breaking down each digit according to its place value.

• The digit 2 is in the hundreds place, so it represents \(2 \times 100\).
• The digit 8 is in the tens place, so it represents \(8 \times 10\).
• The digit 5 is in the ones place, so it represents \(5 \times 1\).

Putting it all together, the expanded form of 285 is:

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

From the options provided, the correct expanded form is:

(2×100)+(8×10)+(5×1)
