dad ask what you know about patterns when you multiply by ten. write to explain the pattern , how to use it, and how to know you were right. Use your age as one factor and 10 as other factor

When multiplying any number by 10, there is a simple and consistent pattern that you can observe. To understand this pattern, let's use my age (let's assume I am 5 years old) as one factor and 10 as the other.

The pattern you will notice is that when you multiply a number by 10, you add a zero to the end of that number. In this case, I am 5 years old, so when we multiply 5 by 10, we get 50. Here, the zero is added to the right side of the number 5, resulting in the number 50.

To use this pattern, all you need to do is take the given number and append a zero to the end. For example, if your dad asks you to calculate what 7 multiplied by 10 is, you simply add a zero to the end of 7, making it 70.

Now, to make sure you were right in applying this pattern, you can perform the multiplication using the traditional method. In the case of multiplying 5 by 10, you could write 5 x 10 and solve it using long multiplication. The result would indeed be 50. Similarly, for 7 x 10, you could multiply them and find the product to confirm if the answer is 70 or not.

In summary, the pattern when multiplying by 10 is to append a zero to the end of the given number. You can use this pattern to quickly calculate the result without going through the process of long multiplication. To confirm if you were right, you can perform the multiplication traditionally and compare the answer.
