Step by step
The question
Question: write forty thousand, eight as a number.
Write forty thousand, eight as a number
1 Find each part
forty thousand is 40,000.
forty thousand → 40,000
eight is 8.
eight → 8
2 Put the digits in the chart
Each part goes in its places.
An empty place gets a 0.
3 Write the number
So the number is 40,008.
= 40,008
Careful!
Each part after a comma needs all 3 digits.
Empty places get a 0.
Careful: not 408 ✗
4 Check
We read it back: 40,008 is forty thousand, eight.
Yes!
It works.
40,008 → forty thousand, eight
Let's look back.
First: find each part.
Then: put the digits in the chart.
Then: write the number.
Last: check.
Answer
= 40,008
