Exploring the Commutative Property of Multiplication

What does the commutative property of multiplication state?

• The product changes when the order of factors is changed.

• The product remains the same regardless of the order of factors.

• The product is always zero.

• Only addition operations can be commuted.

What are factors in a multiplication problem?

• The answer to the multiplication problem.

• The symbols representing multiplication.

• The operation used in the problem.

• The numbers being multiplied together.

What is the purpose of using letters like 'a' and 'b' in explaining the commutative property?

• To indicate addition operations.

• To confuse the learners.

• To represent any numbers.

• To represent specific numbers.

Which property states that changing the order of factors does not change the product?

• Distributive Property

• Commutative Property

• Identity Property

• Associative Property

In the example, what is the product of 9 times 4?

• 36

• 13

• 45

• 12

How does the commutative property simplify complex multiplication problems?

• By converting multiplication into addition.

• By changing the product's value.

• By allowing subtraction of factors.

• By rearranging the factors for easier computation.

What is the result of 5 times 2 times 67 using the commutative property?

• 670

• 134

• 335

• 10

What is the product of 335 times 2?

• 700

• 600

• 670

• 665

Does the commutative property apply to division?

• Yes, in all cases.

• No, it does not apply.

• Only when dividing by zero.

• Yes, but only with positive numbers.

Which of the following is NOT true about the commutative property?

• It applies to both addition and multiplication.

• It simplifies complex multiplication problems.

• It changes the product when factors are rearranged.

• It does not apply to subtraction or division.
