If all addends are the same, or very near the same, you can take one of the addends and multiply it by the number of addends that exist, and you have the sum.
For example:
100 + 101 + 99 + 102 + 100 + 103 + 98 = ?
In this case, all addends are close to 100, and there are 7 of them.
So, you can approximate the sum by saying:
100 * 7
...which is 700.
Whole number
The sum of a set of addends whose sign is the same is the sum of the absolute values of the addends with the same sign as the addends.
multiplication
This is possible because the order of the addends does not matter. For example, 3+8 is the same as 8+3. No matter how you list the addends, the sum will always be the same.
Addends are the numbers that are added together to get a sum.
You can change the grouping of the addends and the sum will stay the same
The sum of a set of addends whose sign is the same is the sum of the absolute values of the addends with the same sign as the addends.
ÃŒn that case you can multiply one of the addends, times the number of addends.
No.
i am a sum. my addends are five different whole numbers. all my addends are greater than zero and less than eleven. all my addends are odd numbers. what am i?
you can use whole numbers
multiplication
Mutltiply that "same" number by the number of data points.
It is a negative number. The answer is the same whether there is an odd or even number of addends.
This is possible because the order of the addends does not matter. For example, 3+8 is the same as 8+3. No matter how you list the addends, the sum will always be the same.
That's the mean (average) of all the addends.
