Summary Lesson 3
When a number is multiplied by a power of 10, each of its digits shifts to the
left. When multiplying a whole number and a power of 10, the number of
zeros in the factors equals the number of zeros in the product.

Summary Lesson 4
When you multiply or divide by powers of 10, each digit shifts the number of
places that is equal to the number of zeros in the power of 10.

1 Diego evaluated the expression 3,005 × 103 and said, “The answer is
30,050 because 103 has 3 zeros. There are already 2 zeros in 3,005,
so I placed 1 more at the end so that there are 3 zeros in the product.”
What is Diego’s error? Explain what he should do to get the correct
answer and include the correct answer in your response.

Math tip: When multiplying a whole number and a power of 10, the
number of zeros in the product is equal to the number of zeros in all the
factors when the factors are written in standard form.
Summary Lesson 6
You can convert a smaller unit to a larger unit using multiplication or division.

— km = 1 m
1,000 m = 1 km 1,000
or
326,000 ÷ 1,000 = 326 1
326,000 × — = 326

You can use the relationship between tons, pounds, and ounces to solve
multi-step problems. A ton is a unit of weight in the Customary system.
An elephant weighs 3 tons and 1,000 pounds. How much does the
elephant weigh in ounces?
16 oz = 1 lb
