#4600#

Explanation:

Hey!

Basically, when we multiply something times #10^x#, we're moving the decimal place #x# number of times to the right.

So, #10^4# is four places to the right giving us a total of #4600#.

What's really happening here is we're multiplying #0.46# by #10000#! (#x# corresponds directly to the number of #0#s, as each multiple of #10# adds a decimal place)

Good luck!
