The correct expanded form of 357.25 is:
\[ (3 \times 100) + (5 \times 10) + (7 \times 1) + (2 \times \frac{1}{10}) + (5 \times \frac{1}{100}) \]
To break it down:
- 3 is in the hundreds place, so \(3 \times 100\)
- 5 is in the tens place, so \(5 \times 10\)
- 7 is in the ones place, so \(7 \times 1\)
- 2 is in the tenths place, so \(2 \times \frac{1}{10}\) (or \(2 \times 0.1\))
- 5 is in the hundredths place, so \(5 \times \frac{1}{100}\)
From your options, the closest match is:
(3×100)+(5×10)+(7×1)+(2×\frac{1}{10})+(5×\frac{1}{100}).
So you would want to select an option including both decimal places correctly accounted for.
