Following the pattern for multiplying by powers of ten, what is 47 times 10,000?

A407,000
B475,000
C470,000
D470,600
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 470,000
1. Count the zeros in the power of ten: 10,000 has four zeros. 2. To multiply by a power of ten, place that many zeros after the other factor. 3. Placing four zeros after 47 gives 470,000. 4. 407,000, 475,000, and 470,600 each change a digit of 47 itself rather than correctly appending four zeros after it. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 1 "Whole Numbers", section 1.4 Multiply Whole Numbers_
