Question

50 hundredths = ______ thousandths equals?

Answer 1

500

Explanation:

50 hundredths written in standard form is 0.50 .

**Adding zeroes to the end of a decimal does not change the value of the number.

1 hundredth = 0.01

1 thousandth = 0.001

So, if there are 50 hundredths, how many thousandths would there be?

The difference between hundredths and thousandths are the placement of the decimal point and how many decimal places there are after it. Hundredths have 2, while thousandths have 3.

Back to the example, 1 hundredth = 10 thousandths:

0.01 = 0.010

If there are 50 hundredths, that would mean that there are 10 times more thousandths in the same number.

0.50 = 0.500

50 hundredths = 500 thousandths

Answer 2

50/100 = 500/1000 or alternatively .50 = .500
