Sure you do. Something x Anotherthing = Something x Anotherthing.
And another way of writting that is SomethingAnotherthing. It's just the same "spelled" diferently.
And, since you are also multipliing 2 numbers, you multiplie by them too. 5xBx2xA= 5x2xBxA = 5x2xBA = 10xBA = 10BA. You don't get anything new, you are just re-organizing the ingredients.

Exactly. I just re-organized them into an equal layout.
Still, 10FishBread means nothing since FishBread is not numbers, is nothing. But you still can re-write 5Bread x 2Fish into 10FishBread. You're not going anywhere with it, though.

Actually, you get 4xOranges[squared]. Don't forget to mulitply the organges between them.
ps: This is the silliest arguement I ever made, I'm just to stubborn to give it up XD
