Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is the correct way to write 62,496 in words, using the standard form of thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. Option B breaks up the thousands place into two parts (forty-nine hundred), which is not standard. Option C is missing a digit in the thousands place. Option D is missing two digits in the thousands place. This option correctly converts all of the digits to their corresponding word form and phrases the number in the standard way of saying large numbers in English. Option B incorrectly breaks up the thousands place by saying "forty-nine hundred" instead of simply "four thousand nine hundred." Option C drops the "two" in the ten thousands place, and Option D drops both the ten thousands place and the thousands place.
