John is thinking of a number in the hundred thousands the first digit is equal to the number of digits in the number. the number has twenty tens and twice as many thousands. the number of ones is an odd number that is less than five and greater than the digit in the hundreds place what is John's number

604203

Let's break down the given information and solve the problem step-by-step:

1. The first digit is equal to the number of digits in the number.
Since the number has two digits, the first digit must be equal to 2.

2. The number has twenty tens and twice as many thousands.
The number of tens indicates that there are twenty tens or 20 * 10 = 200.
Since there are twice as many thousands, we have 2 * 2000 = 4000.

3. The number of ones is an odd number that is less than five and greater than the digit in the hundreds place.
From the previous information, we know that the number of hundreds is 2000. Since the hundredth digit is 2, the ones place digit must be an odd number between 2 and 4.
Therefore, in this case, the ones place digit can be 3.

Now we can combine all the information gathered to form John's number:
First digit: 2
Second digit: 0
Third digit: 0
Fourth digit: 0
Fifth digit: 0
Sixth digit: 3

So, John's number is 200,003.

To find John's number, we need to consider the given clues. Let's go step by step:

1. The first digit is equal to the number of digits in the number.
Since John's number is in the hundred thousands, it means it has at least six digits. Therefore, the first digit must be 6.

2. The number has twenty tens.
This means that the second digit in John's number is 2, as there are twenty tens in the number.

3. The number of thousands is twice as many as the tens.
Since we have twenty tens, the number of thousands will be twice that, which is 40.

4. The number of ones is an odd number that is less than five and greater than the digit in the hundreds place.
The digit in the hundreds place must be between 2 and 4 since it is less than 5 but greater than the twos in the number (tens and thousands). The digit in the hundreds place cannot be 2, so it can only be 3 or 4. However, since the number of ones is an odd number, the digit in the hundreds place must be 3.

Putting all the clues together, John's number is 63,240.

twenty tens means a 2 in the hundreds place

now work from that, one item at a time.
