4ten thousands is the same as how many tens

4 ten thousands is the same as how many tens.

=> Okay, let’s do this:

=> Let’s first show the scientific notation of the given number

=> how many tens are there in 10 000 (10 000 / 10) = 1000

Thus there are 1000 tens in 10 000

=> 10 x 10 = 100 * 10 = 1000 * 10 = 10 000

=> 4 x 10^4

Let’s try checking if we have the correct answer

=> 4 x 10 000

=> 40 000

Four ten thousands is the same as:

Four thousand tens

Heard of the commutative property where you can rearrange the multiplicands and you end up with the same product?

4 * 10 * 1000 = 4 * 1000 * 10

4 * 1000 = 4000 tens
