Answer 1

It's 4y because it is multiplying, meaning it does not matter the order of the numbers and variables.

Answer 2

We have the following expression:
3a. 4y. 5
Using commutative property we have:
5 . 3a. 4y
Therefore we have that the corresponding equality is:
3a. 4y. 5 = 5 3a. 4y
We now observe the expression given in the problem:
3a. 4y. 5 = 5 3a
Comparing with the obtained expression, it is observed that the missing term is:
4y
Answer:
The missing for the quantity to be true is:
