Question

Watch day about 75,000 people visit Paris, France. Use commutative property to write two equivalent expressions that could be used to find the number of people that visits over a 5- day period

Answer 1

`5* 75,000` and
`75,000* 5`

Explanation:

We have been given that about 75,000 people visit Paris, France. We are asked to write two equivalent expressions that could be used to find the number of people that visits over a 5- day period .

To find the number of people over a 5-day period, we will multiply 75,000 people by 5 as:

`\text{Number of people that visits over a 5-day period}=75,000* 5`

Commutative property of multiplication states that we can multiply numbers in any order.

Upon switching the order while multiplying, we will get:

`\text{Number of people that visits over a 5-day period}=5* 75,000`

Therefore, our required equivalent expressions would be
`5* 75,000` and
`75,000* 5`.
