Base-Ten System Math Example 3

Solution

1. 1
   Identify each digit's place value: 3 is in the thousands place ($10^3$), 4 is in the hundreds place ($10^2$), 0 is in the tens place ($10^1$), 7 is in the ones place ($10^0$).
2. 2
   Write each digit multiplied by its place value: $3 \times 10^3 + 4 \times 10^2 + 0 \times 10^1 + 7 \times 10^0$.
3. 3
   Simplify: $3 \times 1000 + 4 \times 100 + 0 \times 10 + 7 \times 1 = 3000 + 400 + 0 + 7 = 3{,}407$ ✓.
