Skill: Recognize ten times as much

To find a number that is ten times as much, multiply the number by $10$.

Example

What is $10$ times as much as $34$?

1. Start with $34$.
2. Multiply by $10$:

$$34 \times 10 = 340$$

3. In a place-value chart, each digit shifts one place to the left:
   • The $3$ tens become $3$ hundreds.
   • The $4$ ones become $4$ tens.
   • A $0$ fills the ones place.

So, $340$ is ten times as much as $34$.

Remember, “ten times as much” means multiply by $10$, not add $10$. For example, $34+10=44$, but $34\times10=340$.
