Why is a single 70% chance different to Ten 7% chances

Like. I know they are different and that one is less likely. But could someone explain this in a way that I can explain it to my partner? I know it is true but cannot remember anything about why and how to explain my point.

Look at the reverse: in the first one you have a 30% chance to fail on your one shot. Doesn’t sound too bad. The second one has a 93% chance to fail each time you try it ten times. I don’t like those odds.
