Yes, you can use addition to solve multiplication problems!

Here are some examples:

-Let's use 5 x 2 for example. 5 x 2= 10 can be solved as 5 + 5 = 10 since you are technically adding 5 twice.
-Another example would be 3 times 5. 3 x 5 = 15 can be solved by 3 + 3 + 3 +3 + 3 = 15 which is adding 3 five times.
-10 times 10 = 100 : 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10+ 10 + 10 + 10 +10 = 100

Hope these examples help! :)

Yes. because she can just add how many times she need to multiply. For example let's say she wants to multiply 7 times 7. You can add 7+7+7+7+7+7+7

Kali spent half of her weekly allowance on clothes. To earn more money her parents let her clean the gutters for $9. What is her

Ber [7]

So to find the answer to this, you have to consider that $\frac{1}{2} x + 9 = 13$ - half because half the pocket money (x) was spend on clothes, then plus 9 because that's how much extra she gained and 13 because that was the result of all the changes.

To solve this, first subtract 9 from both side, which leaves you with $\frac{1}{2} x = 4$ and $\frac{1}{2} x$ is the same as $\frac{1x}{2}$ , so to solve this, multiply both sides of the equation by two, resulting in $x = 8$ . SO from this we can conclude that the weekly allowance is $8
