TASK 3 Extending the pattern

Look for a pattern in these calculations and use it to complete the missing answers.

a Multiplication

8740 × 0.1 = 8740 ÷ 10 = 874

8740 × 0.01 = 8740 ÷ 100 = 87.4

8740 × 0.001 = 8740 ÷ 1000 = __________

8740 × 0.0001 = 8740 ÷ __________ = __________

8740 × 0.000 01 = 8740 ÷ __________ = __________

b Division

0.0285 ÷ 0.1 = 0.0285 × 10 = 0.285

0.0285 ÷ 0.01 = 0.0285 × 100 = 2.85

0.0285 ÷ 0.001 = 0.0285 × 1000 = __________

0.0285 ÷ 0.0001 = 0.0285 × __________ = ___________

0.0285 ÷ 0.000 01 = 0.0285 × __________ = __________
