volume_mute

Select all statements that illustrate the commutative property of multiplication.

Correct Answer

(1) \(7 \times 5 = 5 \times 7\)
(2) \(9 \times 6 = 6 \times 9\)

Explanation

  • \(7 \times 5 = 5 \times 7\) ✓ — order changed → commutative.
  • \((3 \times 2) \times 4 = 3 \times (2 \times 4)\)grouping changed → associative, not commutative.
  • \(9 \times 6 = 6 \times 9\) ✓ — order changed → commutative.
  • \(100 \times 1 = 100\) — property of 1, not commutative.
