Recognize ten times as much

A quantity is ten times as much as another when it equals 10 multiplied by that quantity; in whole numbers, this is represented by shifting each digit one place to the left in a place-value chart, with a zero appended when appropriate. The relationship is multiplicative, not “ten more,” and is limited here to whole-number quantities rather than decimals, fractions, or repeated powers of ten.

Detailed Explanation: 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 $34$ ?

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

34 \times 10 = 340

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 $34\times10=340$ .
