Additions.

Multiplication is equivalent to repeated additions and is faster, especially if the numbers are large.

Answer:

Addition.

Explanation:

Multiplication is a faster way to do repeated addition.

For example, lets say you would add 10 fifteen's together. Addition would make it:

15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15

= 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30

= 60 + 60 + 30

= 120 + 30

= 150

However, when multiplying:

15 x 10 = 150

As you can tell, multiplication makes it so there are less steps, and is less time consuming.
