Question

Two bags with 3 oranges in each bag is the same amount as 3 bags with 2 oranges in each bag. Which property of multiplication does this represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

The property of multiplication that is being demonstrated is known as Commutative Property. This property basically shows that when multiplying two numbers the actual order in which they are multiplied does not matter and does not affect the result at all. For example, the in this scenario to get the total number of oranges we have to multiply the number of bags by the number of oranges in each bag, but whatever way we do this they equal the same

2 bags * 3 oranges per bag = 6 oranges

3 bags * 2 oranges per bag = 6 oranges

Therefore,

2 * 3 = 3 * 2
