Answer:

70 × 6000 = 420000

Explanation:

In this question, we need to write the product of two numbers 70 × 6000 using associative and commutative properties.

Two numbers are commutative if,

a × b = b × a

Two numbers are associative if,

(a × b) × c = a × (b × c)

Here,
70* 6000=(7* 10)* (6* 1000)


70* 6000=7* 10* 6* 1000

Using commutative property as,


70* 6000=7* 6* 10* 1000

Now using associative property as,


70* 6000=42* (10* 1000)


70* 6000=42* (10000)


70* 6000=420000

So, 70 × 6000 = 420000. Hence, this is the required solution.
