Final answer:

Abrielle's 70 thousand blocks equal 7 ten thousand blocks because each ten thousand block is made up of 10 thousand blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Abrielle has 70 thousand blocks in her package of base ten blocks. To determine how many ten thousand blocks this equals to, we can use the place value system where each place represents ten times the value of the place to its right. A ten thousand block is equivalent to 10,000.

So, if Abrielle has 70 thousand blocks, we can divide this number by 10 to find out how many ten thousand blocks she would have.

To illustrate:

  1. 70,000 is the total number of thousand blocks.
  2. We know that 10 thousands make up one ten thousand block.
  3. So, we divide 70,000 by 10 to get the number of ten thousand blocks: 70,000 / 10 = 7,000.

Therefore, Abrielle has 7 ten thousand blocks.
