Answer 1

D. Commutative Property of Multiplication

Explanation:

Commutative Property of Multiplication states that two numbers can be multiplied in either order.

Answer 2

For this case we have to:

By definition, the commutative property of the multiplication establishes that, the order of the factors does not alter the product, that is to say:

`a * b = b * a\\`

Therefore the expression given by:

`2*3 = 3*2` represents:

The commutative property of multiplication

Answer:

Option D
