Question

Write an equivalent expression to show the relationship of multiplication and

addition.

8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8

Answer 1

9 * 8 ....(thats 9 times 8)

Explanation:

8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 9 * 8 = 72

instead of adding all the 8's.....notice that there are 9 of them....so just multiply 9 * 8......instead of adding 8 nine times

so ur equivalent expression would be : 9 * 8

Answer 2

8 times 9 is the same thing as 8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8
