Yes. For example, if you are trying to get the answer to the multiplication problem 3x2, the answer would be 6 and if you did addition, you would be adding 3+3 and get the same answer. 3x5 would be 3+3+3+3+3.

she is correct you can just add the number you are trying to multiply various times like for example 3x32 it can just be 32+32+32
