Q1.
Set A: 14 × 100 = ___, 14 × 500 = ___, 7 × 500 = ___, 7 × 250 = ___; 14 × 10 = ___, 14 × 50 = ___, 7 × 50 = ___, 7 × 25 = ___; 14 × 1 = ___, 14 × 5 = ___, 7 × 5 = ___, 7 × 10 = ___
Answer
| First column | Second column | Third column |
|---|---|---|
| 14 × 100 = 1400 | 14 × 10 = 140 | 14 × 1 = 14 |
| 14 × 500 = 7000 | 14 × 50 = 700 | 14 × 5 = 70 |
| 7 × 500 = 3500 | 7 × 50 = 350 | 7 × 5 = 35 |
| 7 × 250 = 1750 | 7 × 25 = 175 | 7 × 10 = 70 |
How the answers are linked
- Going left across a row, each answer is 10 times the one on its right.
- Going down from row 1 to row 2, the group size is 5 times bigger.
- Row 3 is half of row 2, because 7 is half of 14.
- Row 4 is half of row 3, because 250 is half of 500.
Why it happens: Halving one of the two numbers halves the answer, and multiplying one of them by 10 multiplies the answer by 10.
