Answer:
B) 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
Step-by-step explanation:
When you see a ! directly next to a number (such as 5!), it means that you are multiplying starting from that number, and stepping down each time:
5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1
For example, take factoral 10: 10!
10! = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 3,628,800
In this case, you are multiplying 5!.
5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = (20) * (6) * 1 = 120
5! = 120
Answer:
The communicative property for multiplication states that the order of the multiplicands and can be swapped and the resulting product stays the same.
So
A * B = B * A
So if
7*8=56
then the commutative property says
8*7=56 as well since you can swap the order of the terms on the left and not change the result.
This property is true for addition and multiplication. It does not hold for subtraction or division.
Hope that makes sense and helps. (:
