Question

Josie found that 3.28+3.28+3.28= 9.84, what is the missing factor in the related multiplication problem

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

→3.28+3.28+3.28

3.28 is added three times.

So, we can write it as

=3 × 3.28

=9.84

You can solve the problem , without multiplying ,3.28 by 3 , that is add 3.28 three times.

3.28

3.28

3.28

+

------------

9.84

So, we have solved the problem by two ways,by Multiplication and Addition.

→If you solve it by multiplication , the missing factor will be =3 × 3.28

Which is equal to 3.

Answer 2

The expression which is:

3.28 + 3.28 + 3.28 = 9.84

Is simply equivalent to the expression of thrice the value of 3.28 is equal to 9.84 or:

3 x 3.28 = 9.84

The two are simply equal since in the 1st expression there are three 3.28 and in the 2nd expression there are also three 3.28.
