Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
2 times 10 equals 20
2x10 =20
in long hand multiplication, multiply 2 x 0 to get 0 for the ones digit
then 2x1 to get the ten's digit
put them together to get 20
multiplying by 10 just adds a zero to the other number, it changes 2 to 20
This works in theory, abstractly, but in practical sizes, shoe size, ring size, other clothing sizes, it may not be that twice a size number is really twice as big. Or, 100 percentile score on a test doesn't really show twice as much knowledge exhibited by a student who had a 50th percentile test score.
