Question

Which of the following demonstrates the commutative property across multiplication for 2 × 10 × 7        A. 2 + 10 × 7   B. 2 × (10 × 7)   C. 10 ×7 × 2   D. (2 × 10) × 7

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. 10×7×2

Answer 2

Option C is correct

`10 * 7 * 2`

Explanation:

Commutative property of multiplication states that you can multiply number in any order.

For example:

`2 * 3  = 3 * 2`

`3 * 4 * 5 = 4 * 5 * 2`

Given that:

2 × 10 × 7

By definition Commutative property of multiplication,

⇒
`10 * 7 * 2`

Therefore,
`10 * 7 * 2` demonstrates the commutative property across multiplication for 2 × 10 × 7
