Made a mistake on a question.

Correction: jack and Diana were multiplying 13X7. Jack said that if he added 7 thirteen times and he would get the right answer. Diana said that if she added 13 seven times she would get the right answer. Explain who will end up with the right answer and how do you know

Both Jack and Diana will end up getting the right answer, because 13*7 = 7*13. This is called "commutative property".
Hope this would help~

Both Jack and Diana will end up getting the right answer because adding seven thirteen times is the same as adding thirteen seven times. 7x13 is 91 and 13x7 is 91 too. They just switched the numbers but they kept the operations the same which is called commutative property. You are doing multiplying so it is called commutative property of multiplication.

Hope that helped:)
