10 times as many as 6 hundreds is 60 hundreds or 6 thousands.
Further explanation
We can simplify the questions as follows:
- 10 times as many as _____ hundreds is 60 hundreds
- 60 hundreds is _____ thousands
Let's arrange the above equation into two parts, i.e.,
[tex]\boxed{ \ 10 \times (N \times 100) = 60 \times 100 \ }[/tex] ... Equation-1
[tex]\boxed{ \ 60 \times 100) = M \times 1,000 \ }[/tex] ... Equation-2
This question about simple multiplication is related to place value. We have to solve this calculation to obtain the value of N and M.
The first step, we need to complete Equation-1.
Let's isolate the variable M alone at the end of the process on one side of the equation until the variable will be equal to the value on the opposite side.
[tex]\boxed{ \ 10 \times (N \times 100) = 60 \times 100 \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{ \ 1,000 \times N = 6,000 \ }[/tex]
Both sides are divided by 1,000, in other words, multiplied by [tex]\frac{1}{1,000}[/tex].
[tex]\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{1,000} \times 1,000 \times N = \frac{1}{1,000} \times 6,000 \ }[/tex]
We get, [tex]\boxed{\boxed{ \ N = 6 \ }}[/tex]
The second step, we complete Equation-2 to get the value of M.
[tex]\boxed{ \ 60 \times 100) = M \times 1,000 \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{ \ 6,000 = M \times 1,000 \ }[/tex]
Turn this equation over so that the position of variable M is on the left side.
[tex]\boxed{ \ M \times 1,000 = 6,000 \ }[/tex]
Both sides are divided by 1,000, in other words, multiplied by [tex]\frac{1}{1,000}.[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{1,000} \times M \times 1,000 = \frac{1}{1,000} \times 6,000 \ }[/tex]
We get, [tex]\boxed{\boxed{ \ M = 6 \ }}[/tex]

Alternative to the second step:
60 hundreds = __ thousands
[tex]\boxed{ \ 6 \times 10 \ hundreds = \ M \ thousands} \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{ \ 6 \times thousands = \ M \ thousands} \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{ \ M = 6 \ }}[/tex]
