Multiplying decimals by 10, 100 and
1000
1. 345 x 10 = 3450
2. 896 x 100 = 89600
3. 2678 x 1000 = 2678000
4. 8459 x 10 = 84590
5. 6789 x 100 = 678900
1. One day Grandma asks her twin
grand daughters Myra and Mia to
pack 28.67 kg chicharon in 10
small packs. How many kg of
chicharon did each pack have?
986.74 98.674 9.8674
a)What happens to the decimal
point in the examples above?
Towards what direction does it
move?
b) Is there a pattern in the
movement of the decimal point?
PASS IT ON (Work in Pairs)
a) Divide the class into 3 groups, (2
pupils per question to answer).
b) Flash an equation
c) The first 2 pupils in the group
solves the equation mentally, decide
what is the answer and write it on a
piece of paper
1. 193.4 10 7. 741.31 10
2. 63.81 1000 8. 9.38 100
3. 393.63 1000 9. 46.32 100
4. 741.31 100 10. 42.71 100
5. 2.10 10 11. 741.31 100
6. 2.68 10 12. 29.38 100
Give the answer orally
1) 425.9 10
2) 438.61 100
3) 768.38 1000
How do you divide decimals by 10,
100 and 1000?
To divide decimals by 10, 100 and
1000 we;
1.Move the decimal point to the left
as many zeros are there in the
divisor.
2.Prefix zero/zeros before the
decimal point if needed
Give the answers mentally as fast as you
can.
1) 63.8 10
2) 56.51 100
Analyze and solve the problem mentally:
Which is the best buy:
A 10 grams of chocolate cost P38.62
A 100 grams of chocolate cost of
P69.28
