Lois is correct. This is because multiplication is repeated addition. It means that when your addends are just the same number but added several times, the sum is just equivalent to the product of that number times the number of times it was added. For example, 4+4+4 = 4×3 = 12.
A) Gavin’s drinks altogether cost £9.00
1.50+2.50x3
=1.50+7.50
=£9.00
b) Lian gets back £3.50
1.50+2.00+3.00
=6.50
10.00-6.50=£3.50
I believe this would be 28 feet. You find this by dividing 7/8 to get the decimal of the fraction. (Which is 0.875) Then multiply by 32 ft to get the answer. Hope this helps!
