Aleta noticed that for the rectangle below she could either multiply 2 times 3 or 3 times 2 to get its area of 6 square inches. What property allows her to do this?

Answer:

The answer would be the commutative property of multiplication. That property states that it does not matter what order you multiply thing in, you will always get the same outcome. Example. 6 x 5 = 5 x 6. Or a x b = b x a.

I hope that I helped.
