Commutative property is basically just flipping the numbers around.

Since you know what 7x8 equals

Flip the numbers around in 7x8

Which becomes 7x8

And both equal 56

When you're adding or multiplying, it really doesn't matter how the numbers are ordered :)

Commutative prop states that 7*8 = 8*7, so the property means that 8*7 = 56, just like 7*8

The farmer's market sells fruit baskets. Each basket contains 12 apples and 4 pears. Use a to represent the cost of each apple a

romanna [79]

Answer:

a) a x 12

b) p x 4

c) (a x 12) + (p x 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the answers because:

1) Since a is representing the cost of each apple, we have to multiply the a with 12.

2) Since p is representing the cost of each pear, we have to multiply the p with 4.

3) Finally, for c, each basket contains 12 apples and 4 pears. Therefore, we just use our eautions from before and add them which will give you the total cost of one basket.

Hope this helps! :D
