Then how many ten thousanths are in one?

It's your turn, now Sara. How many ten thousandths to you think are in one?

I'm not sure--I don't get it

There are 10,000 ten thousandths in one.

Think of it this way -- there are 4 fourths in one and 10 tenths in one.

Fractions are the divisions of one thing.

Thank you Ms. Sue.

So if I get this there would be 100 ten thousandths in one hundredths. Am I right?

Yes. .01/.0001 = 100

To calculate the number of ten-thousandths in one, we need to understand the concept of place value. In the decimal system, each place value is a power of 10.

Starting from the left, the first digit after the decimal point represents tenths (10^-1), the second digit represents hundredths (10^-2), the third digit represents thousandths (10^-3), and so on.

Since we are interested in ten-thousandths, it would be the fourth digit after the decimal point (10^-4).

To find out how many ten-thousandths are in one, we can write it as a fraction: 1/10,000. This means that there are 10,000 ten-thousandths in one whole unit.

In other words, if you divide one by 10,000, the result would be 0.0001, which represents one ten-thousandth.
