How do you write 0.0834 in expanded form?

Answer 1

1. Put the decimal point after the first non-zero number
2. Count how many digits the decimal point has to move to get back where it was
3. If it has to move to the left make the count in step 2 negative
4. multiply the result of step 1 by 10 tot he power of the result of steps 2 & 3

That's how I do it, this it me actually doing it:

1. 0.0834 → 8.34
2. dp needs to move 2 digits
3. To left so make the result of the previous step negative, ie -2
4. 8.34 x 10-2

0.0834 = 8.34 x 10-2
