To write the expanded form of the number 357.25, we break it down into its place values:
- The digit 3 is in the hundreds place: \(3 \times 100\)
- The digit 5 is in the tens place: \(5 \times 10\)
- The digit 7 is in the ones place: \(7 \times 1\)
- The digit 2 is in the tenths place (after the decimal point): \(2 \times \frac{1}{10}\)
- The digit 5 is in the hundredths place: \(5 \times \frac{1}{100}\)
Putting this all together, the expanded form of 357.25 is:
\[ (3 \times 100) + (5 \times 10) + (7 \times 1) + (2 \times \frac{1}{10}) + (5 \times \frac{1}{100}) \]
So the correct response is:
\[ (3 \times 100) + (5 \times 10) + (7 \times 1) + (2 \times \frac{1}{10}) + (5 \times \frac{1}{100}) \]
