Associative and Commutative Propoerty

The commutative property of multiplication states that the order of the numbers in an equation:

• Should go from least to greatest
• Doesn't change the product
• Should go from greatest to least
• Is always important

Which of these illustrates the associative property of multiplication?

• 4 x (5 x 6) = (4 x 5) x 6
• 6 (9 + 1) = (6 x 9) + (6 x 1)
• 4 x (56) = (45) x 6
• 5 + 0 = 0 + 5

Which property of addition is shown?
(g + h) + j = g + (h + j)

• Commutative Property of Addition
• Associative Property of Addition
• Distributive Property
• Identity Property
