Understanding Multiplicative Comparisons

The video tutorial explains how to determine how many times greater one number is compared to another using multiplication. It starts with simple examples, such as finding a number ten, hundred, and thousand times greater than five. The tutorial then applies this concept to solve specific problems, including determining how many times greater 1800 is than 18, 34 billion is than 34,000, and 61 million is than 610. The video emphasizes comparing the number of zeros in the numbers to find the multiplication factor.

What is the first step in determining how many times greater one number is compared to another?

• Divide the larger number by the smaller number

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger number

• Add the two numbers together

• Multiply the smaller number by a factor

If a number is ten times greater than 5, what is the resulting number?

• 5

• 500

• 50

• 15

How many zeros are added to the number 5 to make it a hundred times greater?

• No zeros

• Three zeros

• Two zeros

• One zero

What is the product when 5 is multiplied by 1000?

• 50

• 5000

• 500

• 50000

To find how many times greater 1800 is than 18, what should you multiply 18 by?

• 10000

• 1000

• 100

• 10

How many zeros does 34 billion have more than 34,000?

• Six zeros

• Five zeros

• Four zeros

• Three zeros

What factor do you multiply 34,000 by to get 34 billion?

• 1,000,000

• 100,000

• 10,000,000

• 10,000

How many more zeros does 61 million have compared to 610?

• Three zeros

• Six zeros

• Four zeros

• Five zeros

What is the factor needed to multiply 610 to get 61 million?

• 10,000,000

• 1,000,000

• 100,000

• 10,000

What is the product when 610 is multiplied by 100,000?

• 6,100,000

• 61,000,000

• 610,000,000

• 6,100,000,000
