Samantha says 1+1+1=3 cannot be written as a multiplication sentence because there are no equal groups. Do you agree? Explain.

but i think u can do 3*1=3

incorect if you add the 3 ones it equals 3 now there is to 3's that means it would be 3 times 2 equals 6

There are 3 equal groups. 1 can be a group.

3*1=3

10 6+6+6+4 = 20 to be written as a multiplication sentence

No, I do not agree with Samantha's statement. The reason is that a multiplication sentence can be used to represent the expression 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. To understand this, let's first recall what a multiplication sentence is.

A multiplication sentence is a mathematical statement that uses the multiplication operation to represent a given situation or problem. It consists of three parts: a multiplicand, a multiplier, and a product. The multiplicand is the number being multiplied, the multiplier is the number of times the multiplicand is repeated, and the product is the result of the multiplication.

In the case of 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, we can write it as a multiplication sentence by assigning a multiplicand, multiplier, and product. Let's assume that the multiplicand is 1, the multiplier is 3, and the product is 3. Using these values, we can write the multiplication sentence as 1 x 3 = 3.

In this multiplication sentence, the multiplicand (1) is multiplied by the multiplier (3), resulting in the product (3), which matches the sum of the original expression (1 + 1 + 1 = 3).

Therefore, Samantha's claim that 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 cannot be written as a multiplication sentence because there are no equal groups is incorrect. We just need to choose appropriate values for the multiplicand, multiplier, and product to represent the given expression using multiplication.
