Why not? Because every math system you've ever worked with has obeyed these properties! You have never dealt with a system where a×b did not in fact equal b×a, for instance, or where (a×b)×c did not equal a×(b×c). Which is why the properties probably seem somewhat pointless to you. Don't worry about their "relevance" for now; just make sure you can keep the properties straight so you can pass the next test. The lesson below explains how I kept track of the properties.
Answer:
<em>Getting 21 ounces for $6.49 is a better deal!</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
4.99 / 12.4 = 0.402419...
6.49 / 21 = 0.30904...
0.4 is larger than 0.30 therefore 0.30 is less and a better deal.
Have an amazing day! ^-^
