How much is 10 times 3?

To find the decuple of 3, multiply 3 by 10. “Decuple” means ten times a number, so the calculation is simply 3 × 10. This is a common operation when you want to scale a value by a factor of ten, such as converting between units in powers of ten, adjusting quantities, or doing quick mental math. Put another way, making a number decuple increases it by a factor of 10. If you start with 3, the result is the value you get after multiplying by 10. Below are the elements of the multiplication that computes the decuple of 3:

• operation: 3 x 10;
• multiplicand: 3;
• multiplier: 10;
• operator: x;
• product: 30.
