Question

Taylor made $43,785 last year. Use a single digit times a power of ten to express this value rounded to the nearest ten thousand.

Answer 1

To solve this problem you must apply the procceure shown below:

1. Let's round the value to the nearest ten thousand. As you can see, the number 3 is the thousand place and it is less than 5, therefore, the value must be rounded to $40,000.

2.  By using a single digit times a power of ten to express 40,000, you have:

$40,000=4$x$10^{4}$

Therefore, the answer is: $4$x $10^{4}$
