Explanation:

Answer 2

Using the properties of multiplication to show why
`\(4 * 50 = 8 * 25\)`, the first blank is 2, the second blank is 2 and the third is 8.

How did we arrive at this assertion?

Let's use the commutative property of multiplication to show why
`\(4 * 50 = 8 * 25\)`:

`\[4 * 50 = 4 * (\underline2 * 25) \]`

Now, let's use the associative property of multiplication:

`\[= (4 * \underline2) * 25\]`

Now, calculate the values in the parentheses:

`\[= \underline8 * 25\]`

So,
`\(4 * 50 = 8 * 25\)`, demonstrating the equality using the properties of multiplication makes the first blank to be 2, the second blank to be 2 and the third to be 8.
