Question

both of the correct answers equal 2,400 points. why do they have the same value? without knowing what the correct are specficial , if they have te same vbalue complete sample answer: multiplication is a short way to write repeated addition. so 200 ·12 means the same as 200 + 200 + + 200 did you mention that multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition?

Explanation:

Multiplication represents repeated addition. If two correct - answer scenarios result in the same value of 2400 points, it could be that different multiplications (or equivalent repeated - addition scenarios) are giving the same result. For example, if one is 200×12 (which is 200 added 12 times) and another combination that sums up to 2400 through repeated addition (represented as multiplication).

Answer:

Multiplication is a shortcut for repeated addition, so different combinations of factors can result in the same product (value), which might explain why the two correct answers have the same value of 2400 points.
