Let’s solve each problem step by step using the pattern of zeros in division.

First pair:
We know:
32 ÷ 8 = 4
Now look at:
320 ÷ 8 = ?
Notice that 320 is just 32 with a zero added at the end — that means it’s 10 times bigger.
So if 32 ÷ 8 = 4, then 320 ÷ 8 should be 10 times bigger too → 4 × 10 =
40
✔ Check: 8 × 40 = 320 → Correct!
---
Second pair:
We know:
21 ÷ 3 = 7
Now:
210 ÷ 3 = ?
210 is 21 with a zero added → 10 times bigger.
So answer is 7 × 10 =
70
✔ Check: 3 × 70 = 210 → Correct!

Third pair:
We know:
72 ÷ 8 = 9
Now:
7200 ÷ 8 = ?
7200 is 72 with two zeros added → that’s 100 times bigger (because 10 × 10 = 100).
So answer is 9 × 100 =
900
✔ Check: 8 × 900 = 7200 → Correct!
---
Fourth pair:
We know:
600 ÷ 10 = 60
Now:
6000 ÷ 10 = ?
6000 is 600 with one more zero → 10 times bigger.
So answer is 60 × 10 =
600
✔ Check: 10 × 600 = 6000 → Correct!

Final Answer:
40
70
900
600
