Sometimes by labeling the numbers in a statement, you can make a statement true that would normally be false. For example, the statement 12+2=3 could be made true by labeling the number as follows: 12 inches + 2 feet = 3 feet By labeling the numbers in the statement 9 + 6 = 3, make the statement true.

Explanation:

Yes this is actually correct, labelling numbers gives it a meaning, and also makes it understandable to whoever is reading or solving a problem associated with the number

12+2=3 ordinarily would be false because

12+2=14

but when a label is attached

that is 12 inches + 2 feet= 3 feet

12 inches is the same as 1 foot

so 1foot+2feet= 3 feet

9 + 6 = 3 ordinarily is false as 9 + 6 = 15

but

√9feet + 6feet = 3yard

3feet + 6feet = 3yard
