Write an equivalent expression to show the relationship of multiplication and

addition.

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

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

Step-by-step 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

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