Answer:

Four places to the left.

Explanation:

14.6/10000

=> 1.46/1000 [Shifted 1 decimal place after dividing by 10]

=> 0.146/100 [Shifted 1 decimal place after dividing by 10]

=> 0.0146/10 [Shifted 1 decimal place after dividing by 10]

=> 0.00146 [Shifted 1 decimal place after dividing by 10]

Number of decimal places = 1+1+1+1=4

Four places to the left.
