🔍 Explanation:
- When a number is
10 times as much as another, you
divide by 10.
- When a number is
1/10 of another, you
multiply by 10.
- This reflects
place value: moving one place to the right (÷10) or left (×10).
For example:
- 30,000 → 3,000 (move decimal one place left)
- 20 → 200 (move decimal one place right)
This pattern is essential in understanding our base-10 number system.
