✖️ Multiplying by 10, 100, and 1000
🎯 Quick Practice - Times 10
🚂 Train Cars Problem:
Each train has 8 cars. How many cars in 10 trains?
🚌 Bus Seats Problem:
Each bus has 25 seats. How many seats in 10 buses?
📚 The Magic of Multiplying by 10s
✖️ By 10:
- 🚂 2 trains × 10 stations = 20 stops
- 🎫 16 tickets × 10 days = 160 tickets sold
- 🚌 8 buses × 10 routes = 80 daily trips
- ⛽ 12 liters × 10 cars = 120 liters fuel
- Pattern: Just add a zero!
✖️ By 100:
- 🚁 3 helicopters × 100 flights = 300 flights
- 🛳️ 14 ships × 100 containers = 1400 containers
- 🚲 25 bikes × 100 days = 2500 bike rides
- 🏍️ 7 motorcycles × 100 km = 700 km traveled
- Pattern: Just add two zeros!
🌍 Real Transport Examples
🚄 High-Speed Rail Network
Scenario: A bullet train travels at 300 km/h
- In 10 hours: 300 × 10 = 3000 km
- That's like traveling from Delhi to Chennai!
✈️ Airport Operations
Scenario: An airport handles 50 flights per hour
- In 10 hours: 50 × 10 = 500 flights
- In 100 hours: 50 × 100 = 5000 flights
🚢 Cargo Ship Loading
Scenario: Each container weighs 25 tons
- 10 containers: 25 × 10 = 250 tons
- 100 containers: 25 × 100 = 2500 tons
