Question

Name the property the equation illustrates.

A) Commutative Property of Addition

B) Inverse Property of Multiplication

C) Commutative Property of Multiplication

D) Associative Property of Addition

Answer 1

Answer: Choice C) Commutative Property of Multiplication

The commutative property of multiplication is the idea that you can multiply two numbers in any order to get the same result. So that's why order doesn't matter. The general format is x*y = y*x

For example, 2*3 = 6 and 3*2 = 6 so 2*3 = 3*2

One or both of the numbers can be a fraction.
