Question

Jess has 5 bouquets with 12 roses in each bouquet. Kyle has 12 bouquets with 5 roses in each bouquet. Which equation uses the commutative property to show that Jess and Kyle have an equal number of roses?

Answer 1

The answer is D.

Explanation:

5x12 is equal to 12x5 (communitive property)

Answer 2

Number of bouquet * roses per bouquet = roses per bouquet * Number of bouquet

5 * 12 = 12 * 5

60 = 60

Explanation:

Given that :

Jesse :

Number of bouquet = 5

Roses per bouquet = 12

Kyle:

Number of bouquet = 12

Roses per bouquet = 5

To show commutativity :

Number of bouquet * roses per bouquet = roses per bouquet * Number of bouquet

5 * 12 = 12 * 5

60 = 60
