Question

Which of the following repeated addition statements will give the total number of counters?

• A. $9+9+9$
• B. $3+3+3$
• C. $9+9+9+9$
• D. $8+8+8$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $9+9+9$

• There are 3 groups with an equal number of counters in each.
• Each group has 9 counters.
• Since each group has an equal number of counters, we can use the repeated addition.
• There are 3 groups with 9 counters, so we will add 9, 3 times.
• Therefore, 9 + 9 + 9 will give the correct total.
• Hence, option C is correct.
