Yan is climbing down a ladder. Each time he descends 4 rungs on the ladder, he stops to see how much farther he has to go. If Yan made 8 stops with no extra steps, which expression best shows another way to write the product of the number of ladder rungs that Yan climbed?
4 + 4 + 4 + 4
8 + 8 + 8 + 8
(Negative 1) (4 + 4 + 4 + 4)
(Negative 8) + (negative 8) + (negative 8) + (negative 8)
it can't be any negatives because the questions asking how many ladder rungs he climed not how far he went down. It can't be the first one cause Yan did not climb 16 rungs.
