Answer: Choice B) 40 + 3 + 0.2 + 0 + 0.005
Explanation:
The number 43 is basically 40+3
We read "43" as "forty three", in which you can think of having 40 and then an additional 3 on top of that to get 40+3 = 43 overall.
As for the decimal portion, we do the same sort of thing.
The 0.205 breaks up into 0.2 + 0.005
0.2 = 2 tenths
0.005 = 5 thousandths
So that's why 43.205 breaks down into 40+3+0.2+0+0.005; each place value digit corresponds to a term in that expanded sum.
