Does as much mean to multiply or divide?

Answer 1

it means to add

Answer 2

In mathematical terms, "as much" typically implies multiplication, not division. When comparing two quantities, saying that one is "as much as" another suggests that they are equal or equivalent, which aligns with the concept of multiplication. For example, if you have 5 apples and each apple costs $2, then 5 apples cost as much as 5 multiplied by $2, which equals $10.

Answer 3

Well, honey, "as much" doesn't mean squat in math. It's like asking if a potato can tap dance – completely irrelevant. If you want to multiply, use "times"; if you want to divide, use "divided by." Keep it simple, sweetheart.

Answer 4

Generally, "as much" refers to a comparison of two things (especially to see if they are equal), so neither multiplication nor division is commonly indicated by "as much". For example, the question "is 10 as much as 5" should be answered "no, 10 is greater than 5", not "50" or "2".
