Answer

To find out how many hundredths are there in 4 tenths, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the relationship between tenths and hundredths.
- **Tenths** are represented as \( \frac{1}{10} \).
- **Hundredths** are represented as \( \frac{1}{100} \).

### Step 2: Convert tenths to hundredths.
- Since 1 tenth is equal to 10 hundredths, we can express 4 tenths in terms of hundredths:
\[ 4 \text{ tenths} = 4 \times 10 \text{ hundredths} = 40 \text{ hundredths}. \]

### Step 3: Conclusion.
