Answer: [tex]26.013 = 20+6+10^{-2}+3\times 10^{-3}[/tex] is the required expanded form.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given number : 26.013
In expanded form it can be written as
[tex]26.013 = 20 + 6 + 0.1 + 0.003[/tex]
[tex]=20+6+\dfrac{1}{100}+\dfrac{3}{1000}[/tex]
Since [tex]\dfrac{1}{100}=10^{-2},\ \ \ \dfrac{1}{1000}=10^{-3}[/tex]
So, [tex]26.013 =20+6+10^{-2}+3\times 10^{-3}[/tex]
Hence, [tex]26.013 = 20+6+10^{-2}+3\times 10^{-3}[/tex] is the required expanded form.
