Question 13

How is multiplying 0.3 by 10 LIKE multiplying 0.3 by 0.1? How is it DIFFERENT?

LIKE: Both shift the digits of 0.3 by one place value 

DIFFERENT: Multiplying by 10 shifts digits to the left to make a larger number (3), while multiplying by 0.1 shifts digits to the right to make a smaller number (0.03)

400

Question 20

Multiply 7,952 x 8 and explain how you know your answer is reasonable.

Answer: 63,616

Reasonable because 7,952 is rounded to 8,000 and 8 can be rounded to 10. Meaning 8,000 x 8= 64,000
