Question

Select the multiplication sentence that applies the commutative property of multiplication to the example.

Example: 5 × 8 = 40
A.
8 × 5 = 40
B.
10 × 4 = 40
C.
20 × 2 = 40

Answer 1

Answer : A

Example: 5 × 8 = 40

A. 8 × 5 = 40

the commutative property of multiplication allows us to multiply the numbers in any order without changing the product. In example we have 5 * 8 . When we change the order it becomes 8 * 5. So here applies commutative property of multiplication.

B. 10 × 4 = 40

the commutative property of multiplication allows us to multiply the numbers in any order without changing the product. In example we have 5 * 8 . When we change the order it becomes 8 * 5. So here it does not applies commutative property of multiplication.

C. 20 × 2 = 40

the commutative property of multiplication allows us to multiply the numbers in any order without changing the product. In example we have 5 * 8 . When we change the order it becomes 8 * 5. So here it does not applies commutative property of multiplication.
