4Nc20: Multiply and divide three-digit numbers by 10 (whole number answers)

Multiplying by 10

Move all digits one place to the left, add a 0:

45 × 10 = 450

123 × 10 = 1,230

Multiplying by 100

Move all digits two places to the left, add 00:

45 × 100 = 4,500

123 × 100 = 12,300

Dividing by 10

Move all digits one place to the right:

450 ÷ 10 = 45

1,230 ÷ 10 = 123
