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.
