Question

Lily says that 4x7,000 has the same product as 7x4,000.Is she correct? Explain using the associative property of multiplication

Answer 1

Its the same numbers just different orders

Answer 2

Lily should be correct because 4x7 will give you the same product no matter which way you do it. The zeros don't matter either. You could have 1,000,000 zeros but you're 4x7 or 7x4 will stay the same.
