Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expanded form of 352 is "300 + 50 + 2". Choice A is incorrect because it adds a zero to the end of the number, which implies a new place value. Choice B is incorrect because it separates the hundreds, tens, and ones places into individual numbers, while expanded form should show the value of each digit in its respective place value. Choice D is incorrect because it separates the hundreds, tens, and ones places into individual numbers, while expanded form should show the value of each digit in its respective place value. Expanded form breaks a number down into each place value. In this case, the hundreds place is 3, the tens place is 5, and the ones place is 2. So, 352 in expanded form is 300 + 50 + 2.
