Properties of Operations

Front

What is the Inverse Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Inverse Property of Multiplication states that for any number 'a', there exists a number 'b' such that a × b = 1. For example, 1/4 × 4 = 1.

What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. For example, 3 × 5 = 5 × 3.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not change their product. For example, (2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4).

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(6 + 9) = 4 × 6 + 4 × 9.

What is an example of the Inverse Property of Multiplication?

Back

An example is 5 × 1/5 = 1.

Front

What is an example of the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

Back

An example is 7 × 2 = 2 × 7.

Front

What is an example of the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

An example is (3 × 4) × 2 = 3 × (4 × 2).

Front

What is an example of the Distributive Property?

Back

An example is 3(2 + 5) = 3 × 2 + 3 × 5.

Front

What does the coordinate (4, -6) represent?

Back

The coordinate (4, -6) represents a point on the Cartesian plane where '4' is the x-coordinate and '-6' is the y-coordinate.

Front

What does the coordinate (0, -6) represent?

Back

The coordinate (0, -6) represents a point on the Cartesian plane where '0' is the x-coordinate and '-6' is the y-coordinate.
