Answer:

C. 400

Explanation:

The number 14752 is "Fourteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty two"

The 1 is the place of ten thousands ⇒ 10,000

The 4 is the place of thousands ⇒ 4,000

The 7 is the place of hundreds ⇒ 700

The 5 is the place of tens ⇒ 50

The 2 is the place of units ⇒ 2

So we need to find how many groups of tens are in 4000.

To do this, divide 4000 by 10.

To divide anything by 10, simply move the decimal point one place to the left.

Therefore, there are 400 groups of ten in 4000

as 400 × 10 = 4000
