Expanded form and number names 11
Write \(905{,}070\) in expanded form. Then explain why there is no separate term for the ten-thousands, hundreds, or ones places.

Hints

- Locate every nonzero digit before writing any terms. - Ask what value a zero digit contributes to the number. - Expanded form does not need addends whose value is zero.

Solution

1. The nonzero digits are \(9\) hundred-thousands, \(5\) thousands, and \(7\) tens. 2. The expanded form is \(900{,}000+5000+70\). 3. The ten-thousands, hundreds, and ones digits are zero, so those places contribute no value and need no separate terms.

Answer

\(900{,}000+5000+70\). The omitted places have digit \(0\), so they contribute no value.
Expanded form and number names 12
The expanded form of a number is \(600{,}000+20{,}000+900+8\). Write the number in standard form and in words.

Hints

- Build the standard numeral one place at a time from the expanded terms. - Insert zero digits for place values that have no term. - Read the thousands period first, then the ones period.

Solution

1. Place the values into their positions: \(6\) hundred-thousands, \(2\) ten-thousands, \(9\) hundreds, and \(8\) ones. 2. The missing thousands and tens places are zeros, so the standard form is \(620{,}908\). 3. In words, the number is “six hundred twenty thousand nine hundred eight.”

Answer

Standard form: \(620{,}908\) Word form: six hundred twenty thousand nine hundred eight
Expanded form and number names 13

Solution

1. The chart shows \(3\) thousands, no hundreds, \(5\) tens, and \(2\) ones. 2. The student read \(5\) tens as \(5\) hundreds and \(2\) ones as \(2\) tens. 3. The correct expanded form is \(3000+50+2\), worth \(3052\).

Answer

The \(5\) is in the tens column, and the \(2\) is in the ones column. Correct expanded form: \(3000+50+2\).
Expanded form and number names 16
Solve each place-value problem. a) What number is represented by \(60{,}000 + 400 + 30 + 8\)? b) Write \(305{,}070\) in expanded form. c) What number is made from \(12\) thousands, \(15\) hundreds, and \(3\) ones?

Hints

- For part b, write only the nonzero place-value parts. - In part c, remember that \(10\) hundreds can be regrouped as \(1\) thousand. - Add the place-value amounts to check each standard-form number.

Solution

1. For a), \(60{,}000 + 400 + 30 + 8 = 60{,}438\). 2. For b), the nonzero place values are \(300{,}000\), \(5000\), and \(70\), so \(305{,}070 = 300{,}000 + 5000 + 70\). 3. For c), \(12\) thousands is \(12{,}000\), \(15\) hundreds is \(1500\), and \(3\) ones is \(3\). Their sum is \(12{,}000 + 1500 + 3 = 13{,}503\).

a) \(60{,}438\) b) \(300{,}000 + 5000 + 70\) c) \(13{,}503\)
Expanded form and number names 17
Write the number shown in the place-value chart in expanded form. Then remove two chips from the tens column. What is the new expanded form and number?
Figure for problem 535668

Hints

- Write the value represented by each column. - Only the tens term changes when two chips are removed from the tens column.

Solution

1. The chart shows \(8\) chips in the ten-thousands column, \(1\) in the thousands column, \(4\) in the hundreds column, \(5\) in the tens column, and \(6\) in the ones column. 2. Its expanded form is \(80{,}000 + 1000 + 400 + 50 + 6 = 81{,}456\). 3. Removing two tens chips changes \(5\) tens to \(3\) tens, so the tens term becomes \(30\). 4. The new expanded form is \(80{,}000 + 1000 + 400 + 30 + 6 = 81{,}436\).

Answer

Original: \(80{,}000 + 1000 + 400 + 50 + 6 = 81{,}456\) New: \(80{,}000 + 1000 + 400 + 30 + 6 = 81{,}436\)
Expanded form and number names 18
The place-value chart represents one number. Jordan writes its expanded form as \(400{,}000+2000+600+30\). Identify Jordan's place-value error. Then write the correct expanded form and standard form.
Figure for problem 554525

Hints

- Compare each term Jordan wrote with the column that contains the corresponding chips. - Focus on the column containing \(2\) chips. - After correcting the expansion, read all six place-value columns to form the standard numeral.

Solution

1. The chart has \(2\) chips in the ten-thousands column, not the thousands column. 2. Jordan therefore used \(2000\) where the term should represent \(2\) ten-thousands. 3. The correct expanded form is \(400{,}000+20{,}000+600+30\). 4. The standard form is \(420{,}630\).

Answer

Jordan treated the \(2\) as thousands instead of ten-thousands. Correct expanded form: \(400{,}000+20{,}000+600+30\) Standard form: \(420{,}630\)
Expanded form and number names 19
A number is written as \(500{,}000+30{,}000+1200+40+8\). Write the number in standard form. Then write its expanded form with one term for each nonzero digit.

Hints

- Check whether any addend contains more than one place value. - Separate the thousands and hundreds in the middle addend. - Make sure the rewritten sum contains one term for each nonzero digit.

Solution

1. Break \(1200\) into \(1000+200\). 2. Combine the place values to get \(531{,}248\). 3. Write one term for each nonzero digit: \(500{,}000+30{,}000+1000+200+40+8\).

Answer

Standard form: \(531{,}248\) Expanded form: \(500{,}000+30{,}000+1000+200+40+8\)
Expanded form and number names 20
Riley and Devon wrote two sums. Riley: \(200{,}000+30{,}000+10{,}000+600\) Devon: \(100{,}000+100{,}000+40{,}000+500+100\) Do the sums give the same number? Show how you know. Write the number in standard form and in expanded form, with one term for each nonzero digit.

Hints

- Look for amounts you can combine within each sum. - Check both sums before comparing them. - In expanded form, each nonzero digit gets its own place-value term.

Solution

1. Riley has \(30{,}000+10{,}000=40{,}000\), so the sum is \(240{,}600\). 2. Devon has \(100{,}000+100{,}000=200{,}000\) and \(500+100=600\), so Devon's sum is also \(240{,}600\). 3. The standard form is \(240{,}600\). The expanded form is \(200{,}000+40{,}000+600\).

Answer

Yes. Both sums equal \(240{,}600\). Standard form: \(240{,}600\). Expanded form: \(200{,}000+40{,}000+600\).
Expanded form and number names 21
A number is written as \(400{,}000+70{,}000+15{,}000+800+90+6\). a) Write the number in standard form. b) Write its usual expanded form, with one term for each nonzero digit. c) Write the number in words. d) What digit is in the ten-thousands place?

Hints

- Combine terms before reading the digit in each place. - Write the standard numeral before preparing its usual expanded form. - In word form, read the thousands group first and then the remaining places.

Solution

1. Combine the two contributions to the thousands: \(70{,}000+15{,}000=85{,}000\). 2. The number is \(485{,}896\). 3. Its usual expanded form is \(400{,}000+80{,}000+5000+800+90+6\). 4. The word form is four hundred eighty-five thousand eight hundred ninety-six. 5. The ten-thousands digit is \(8\).

Answer

a) \(485{,}896\) b) \(400{,}000+80{,}000+5000+800+90+6\) c) four hundred eighty-five thousand eight hundred ninety-six d) \(8\)
