Question

Which statements about the Commutative Property of Multiplication are TRUE? Select all that apply. A. The property applies to all real numbers. B. The property states that ab is equivalent to ba. a ( x + y ) = ax + ay C. There is also a Commutative Property of Division because multiplication and division are related operations. D. The property states that when multiplying three numbers together, you can multiply any two of them first and then multiply by the remaining number.

Answer 1

b) The property states that ab is equivalent to b a

Explanation:

Commutative property:-

the commutative property , when we multiply two integers , the answer we get after multiplication will remain the same, even if the position of the integers are interchanged.

Let 'a' and 'b' be the two integers , then ab = b a

Example:-

. 1 X 2 = 2 X 1 = 2

. 12 X 5 = 5 X 12 = 60
