Write the number 6,092 in expanded form using place-value language and show how the digit in the hundreds place is related to the digit in the tens place by a factor of 10.

 6,092 in expanded form (place-value language): 

(6 x 1,000) + (9 x 10) + (2 x 1)

Divide 3,600 by 10²

  • 3,600÷100=36.
  • Placement change: Dividing by 100100 moves digits two places to the right (or moves the decimal point left two places): 3600.→36.0

400

The 5 in 5,034

  • Correct: the 5 is in the thousands place, so it represents 5,000.
  • If moved one place to the right (hundreds place), the digit 5 would represent 500. (Moving right divides the place value by 10.)

Express 1,000 with whole-number exponent; then multiply 56.3 by 10²

  • 56.3×10²=56.3×100=5,630
  • Decimal shift: multiplying by 10²  moves the decimal point right two places: 56.3→5630.0

  1. Convert 3.2 kilometers to meters and back
  • 1 km=1000 m
  • 3.2 km×1000=3200 m
  • Reverse: 3200 m÷1000=3.2 km
  • Pattern: moving between km and m shifts the decimal three places (multiply/divide by 10³).
400

Express 3,250 meters in kilometers (write the numeric answer).

  • 1 km=1000 m

3.25 km

 Explain why a digit in one place represents 1/10 of what it represents in the place immediately to its left. Give an example using the number 3,456.

  • A digit in one place is 110101 of what it represents in the place to its left because each place value is 10 times the one to its right.
  • Example: In 3,4563,456:
    • The 3 is in the thousands place: 3,000.
    • If the 3 were in the ten-thousands place (one to the left), it would be 30,000 (10 times larger).
    • Alternatively: the 4 in the hundreds place (value 400) is 1/10 of the 4 in the thousands place (value 4,000).
500

Pattern when multiplying vs dividing by 10³

Multiplying by 10³ (which is 1,000) moves the decimal point three places to the right (or adds three zeros for whole numbers).

Dividing by 10³ moves the decimal point three places to the left.

Multi-step: 2.5 liters split into 50-milliliter samples

 

  • Convert 2.5 L to mL: 2.5×1000=2500 mL2.5×1000=2500 mL.
  • Number of full 50-mL samples: ⌊²⁵⁰⁰⁄₅₀⌋=⌊50⌋=50 samples.
  • Leftover: 2500−(50×50)=2500−2500=0 mL.
  • Answer: (a) 50 full samples. (b) 0 mL left over.
