Question

Because of the commutative property of multiplication 3/4X4=4X3/4 However these expressions can be calculated in different ways even though the solutions will be the same. Show two different ways to solve 3/4X4

Answer 1

Answer:

We obtain same product by both the methods.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Commutative property of multiplication:

$\dfrac{3}{4}\times 4 =4\times \dfrac{3}{4}$

Different ways to find the product:

1. First way

$\dfrac{3}{4}\times 4\\\\=3\times \dfrac{4}{4}\\\\=3$

2. Second way

$\dfrac{3}{4}\times 4\\\\=\dfrac{12}{4}\\\\=3$

We get the same product for both the calculations.
