The commutative property of multiplication states that the numbers can be multiplied in any order.

a+b = b+a : Commutative property of addition

a*b = b*a : Commutative property of multiplication

a+0=a : Additive identity property  

a*1 =a : Multiplicative identity property  

Answer : a*b =b*a


Lynna [10]3 years ago

Answer:

a · b = b · a

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative property of multiplication states that the order of multiplication in real numbers does not matter,

I.e.

m × n = n × m

∀ m, n ∈ R

Thus, the correct option that represents the commutative property of multiplication is,

a · b = b · a

Note :

a + b = b + a represents commutative property of addition,

a + 0 = a represents the additive identity property,

a . 1 = a represents the multiplicative identity property.

Select the best real-world situation that can be represented by 15 + c = 18.50. Then solve the equation and describe what your a
Daniel [21]

Answer:

15+c=17.50 First you subtract 15 by 15 because you switch operations from adding to subtracting then you would put C under it Second subtract 17.50 and 15 and that is 2.50 so C= 2.50

A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30. He wants to mix $5 per pound cashews with the peanuts to get a batch of mixed nut
seraphim [82]

Answer:

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30.

Price of peanut per pound P = $30/12 = $2.5

Price of cashew per pound C = $5

Price of mixed nut per pound M = $4

Let x represent the proportion of peanut in the mixed nut.

The proportion of cashew will then be y = (1-x), so;

xP + (1-x)C = M

Substituting the values;

x(2.5) + (1-x)5 = 4

2.5x + 5 -5x = 4

2.5x - 5x = 4 -5

-2.5x = -1

x = 1/2.5 = 0.4

Proportion of cashew is;

y = 1-x = 1-0.4 = 0.6

For 12 pounds of peanut the corresponding pounds of cashew needed is;

A = 12/x × y

A = 12/0.4 × 0.6 = 18 pounds

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

Jordan takes 50% of the cherries from a bowl. Then Mei takes 50% of the remaining cherries. Finally Greg takes 50% of the remain
Lynna [10]
If 3 is 50%

3 x 2 = 6

If 6 is another 50%

6 x 2 = 12

If 12 is another 50%

12 x 2 =24

Therefore there were 24 cherries in the bowl!
