Answer:

Associative Property of Multiplication

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

It is said by Lily that


4* 7000 = 7000* 4

This is correct statement to say.

This is the commutative property of multiplication.

  • The commutative property says that the order in which we multiply numbers does not change the product of the two numbers.

Associative property of multiplication

  • The associative property states that we can multiply any two numbers however they may be grouped.
  • Multiplying by changing the order of the numbers would not change the product of the numbers


4* (7* 1000) = (4* 7)* 1000 =28000

The order of multiplication of number does not effect the final product. We may cho0se any order.
