Answer 1

To analyze the expressions, let's first break them down:

1. **2, dot, 5 (2·5)**: This can be interpreted as \(2 \cdot 5\), which means 2 multiplied by 5.
- \(2 \cdot 5 = 10\)
- So, we can say that **2, dot, 5 means 2 plus 2 plus 2 plus 2 plus 2 (which equals 10)**.

2. **5, dot, 2 (5·2)**: This can be interpreted as \(5 \cdot 2\), which means 5 multiplied by 2.
- \(5 \cdot 2 = 10\)
- Similarly, we can say that **5, dot, 2 means 5 plus 5 (which equals 10)**.

So, filling in the blanks:

- The expression was rewritten using the **dot (or multiplication)**.
- **2·5 means** 2 plus 2 plus 2 plus 2 plus 2 **which equals 10**.
- **5·2 means** 2 plus 2 **plus 2 plus 2 plus 2 (which equals 10)**.

This concludes the analysis of the rewritten expressions.
