volume_mute
The commutative property states that order does not change the product. If \(8 \times 47 = 376\), what is \(47 \times 8\)?
Correct Answer
376
Explanation
By the commutative property of multiplication: \(a \times b = b \times a\). So \(47 \times 8 = 8 \times 47 = 376\). No recalculation needed.
