can you write 3+4+5=12 as a multiplication sentence ? Explain

Question

how do you write it?

Answer 1

Yes you can.  Using distributive property,

 

 

1 × (4 + 5 + 6) = 12

 

(1 × 4) + (1 × 5) + (1 × 6) = 12

 

4 + 5 + 6 = 12

 

 

Or using order of operations (PEMDAS),

 

(3 × 1) + (2 × 2) + (5 × 1) = 12
