Solve the following exercise:
Because multiplying makes numbers larger! Moving the decimal right increases the value. Remember: multiply = move right, divide = move left.
Count the zeros! For 10 (1 zero) = 1 place, for 100 (2 zeros) = 2 places, for 1000 (3 zeros) = 3 places.
Add zeros as placeholders! For example: (added two zeros).
Yes! This shortcut works for any decimal multiplied by powers of ten (10, 100, 1000, etc.). It's much faster than regular multiplication!
Think: "Bigger number, bigger place!" When multiplying (making bigger), move decimal to make a bigger-looking number by going right.
