3+3 and 3×3 isnt the same, and the same thing with all other numbers. i don’t understand how 2+2 and 2×2 both equal 4
In: Mathematics
It’s just the way the math works out.
If you have 2 books, and then you get 2 more books you have 4 books.
But if you have 2 groups of 2 books… well that is exactly the same as what you had above so you have 4 books still.
It doesn’t work like that for any other numbers because it isn’t the same thing.
3*3 isn’t 3+3, but it is 3+3+3. 3 groups of 3.
