Question

Select the postulate that is illustrated for the real numbers.

6 · 12 = 12 · 6

1. The commutative postulate for multiplication
2. Multiplication by one
3. The addition inverse postulate
4. Commutative postulate for addition
5 The distributive postulate
6. The addition of zero postulate
7. The multiplication inverse

Answer 1

The answer would be 1. The commutative postulate for multiplication. Hope this helped! Good luck! :)

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is

(1) The commutative postulate for multiplication

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct postulate that is illustrated for the real numbers as follows :

6 . 12 = 12 . 6.

We know that

if a and b are any two real numbers, then the equality a . b = b . a illustrates the commutative postulate for multiplication.

So, if a = 6 and b = 12, then we get

6 . 12 = 12 . 6.

Thus, the illustrated postulate is the commutative postulate for multiplication.

Option (1) is CORRECT.
