Question

Benito says that the expression 5×10 means five times as many as 10 Diane says it can also mean 10 times as many as five is Diane’s argument reasonable explain

Answer 1

Diane's argument is reasonable

Explanation:

It's actually quite simple! When we say "five times as many as 10," we're essentially multiplying the number 10 by 5. Therefore, 5 multiplied by 10 is equal to 50. Similarly, when we say "10 times as many as five," we're multiplying the number 5 by 10, which also equals 50. That's why both interpretations are correct! Whether you express it as "five times as many as 10" or "10 times as many as five," the answer remains the same at 50. That's why Diane's argument is reasonable
