Question

A student used 80 ten thousands in the expanded form of the number 6,807,590.Show or explain how 6 hundred thousands, 7 thousands,5 hundred, and 9 tens can or cannot be used to represent 6,807,590.If it cannot be used show how you would correct it and still use 80 thousands

Answer 1

The given explanation is not 100% correct.

The parts that are correct are 7 thousands 5 hundreds, 9 tens and 80 ten thousands.

The error is that there are not 6 hundred thousands. Instead there are 60 hundred thousands.

Answer 2

80 ten thousands, 7 thousands,5 hundreds, and 9 tens are used; 6 hundred thousands is not included.

Explanation:

6,807,590 can be expanded as

6,000,000 + 800,000 + 7,000 + 500 + 90

That is, 6 millions + 80 ten thousands + 7 thousands + 5 hundreds + 9 tens

6 hundred thousands (600,000) is not included, but 60 hundred thousands (6,000,000, the same as 6 millions) is included
