I don't understand how your egg-xample is supposed to be an illustration of 0*1=...
A better analogy for 3*0=0 is this:
I go get 3 eggs, but they are free today (0$ per piece), so I pay 0$.
or:
Eggs cost 3$ a piece, but I buy no eggs, and therefore I pay 0$.
Both situations would be calculated by 0*3=0 or 3*0=0, which are equivalent.
You got it wrong K.
In 3 * 0 = 0
3 indicate the type of product,i.e,Egg.
0 indicate the number of products.
So in 3 * 0 = 0
Basically,this statement is saying that you got a few eggs from the supermarket and then says that when you go to cash out they check you out for 0 dollars since you didn't get anything. That's the craziest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
The logic of 3*0=0 is
You get eggs.
They check you out for 0 dollars since you didn't get any eggs.
The real logic of 3*0=0 should be
You get eggs.
They check you out for N dollars.
Also,there is no way that 3 * 0 = 0 is the same as 0 * 3 = 0
In 0 * 3 = 0
You get nothing from the supermarket.
They check you out for 0 dollars.This is correct.
But there is no way you get egg(s) from the supermarket and then they check you out for 0 dollars.
