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 0s, as each multiple of 10 adds a decimal place)

Good luck!
