While the invention of the steamboat is often attributed to American inventor Robert Fulton, credit should really go to John Fitch. Fitch built four steamboats in the late eighteenth century. These boats traveled successfully on lakes and rivers and proved that steam could be used to propel boats. Fitch’s boats included more traditional elements as well, such as paddle wheels and screw propellers. By blending tried and true methods of propulsion with new technology, Fitch created functioning steamboats. He forfeited his place in American memory due not to any mechanical failings, but to financial ones. His production and operating costs were too high to make steam travel economically feasible. As a result, many people have forgotten his role in the invention of the steamboat. It wasn’t until after his death that Robert Fulton created a commercially successful steamboat and became known as “the father of steam navigation.”

The correct expanded form of 23.75 is:
(2×10) + (3×1) + (7×1/10) + (5×1/100).
This represents the value of each digit in 23.75 correctly. However, since this option is not listed exactly, the closest match would be:
(2×10) + (3×1) + (7×1/10) + (5×1/100) based on the understanding of expanded notation.

The correct expanded form of 357.25 is:
(3×100) + (5×10) + (7×1) + (2×1/10) + (5×1/100).
Unfortunately, none of the options listed exactly match this format. However, the first option appears to have a typographical error, as it states:
(3×100) + (5×10) + (7×1) + (2×1/10) + (5×1/100)
The correct representation, according to the notation of expanded form, should represent the decimal parts correctly.
Thus, please use this expanded form when considering 357.25 accurately. The best close match from your provided options is the first one, excluding the irrelevant notation.
