Commutative Property of Multiplication

Tyler introduces the commutative property of multiplication, explaining that the order of factors does not affect the product, similar to addition. He provides an example with numbers and discusses its practical applications in math, emphasizing its foundational role in mathematical equations.

What is the commutative property of multiplication?

• It allows you to subtract numbers in any order.

• It allows you to multiply numbers in any order.

• It allows you to add numbers in any order.

• It allows you to divide numbers in any order.

How does the commutative property of multiplication compare to addition?

• Only multiplication allows reordering.

• Both allow reordering of numbers to get the same result.

• Neither allows reordering.

• Only addition allows reordering.

Which of the following is an example of the commutative property of multiplication?

• 3 / 7 = 7 / 3

• 3 x 7 = 7 x 3

• 3 - 7 = 7 - 3

• 3 + 7 = 7 + 3

Why is the commutative property of multiplication considered convenient?

• It simplifies addition problems.

• It allows flexibility in the order of multiplication.

• It helps in solving subtraction problems.

• It is used in division problems.

What role does the commutative property play in mathematics?

• It is a foundational concept for mathematical equations.

• It is a minor concept with limited use.

• It is only used in advanced mathematics.

• It is not important in mathematics.
