Question

Explain how finding 7x20 is similar to finding 7x2000

Answer 1

This is the same due to scientific notation. 

Answer 2

It's just like how 7x2 helps you solve 7x20. When multiplying a number with another number that's only followed by zeros are simple because all you do is add a zero. Example:
7x2= 14
7x20= 140
7x200= 1400
7x2000= 14000
Etc.
