Answer 1

Given:

`4* 50 =8* 25`

To find:

The steps to prove the given statement by using the properties of multiplication.

Solution:

We have,

`4* 50 =8* 25`

Taking left hand side, we get

`LHS=4* 50`

`LHS=4* (2* 25)`

`LHS=(4* 2)* 25` (Associative property of multiplication)

`LHS=8* 25`

`LHS=RHS`

Hence proved.
