Answer:

The communicative property for multiplication states that the order of the multiplicands and can be swapped and the resulting product stays the same.

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. (:

Tamiku [17]

First of all you need to work out 20 minutes in hours, this can be done by dividing 20 by 60:
20/60 = 1/3

Then you need to divide 15 by 1/3 to get the final speed:
15 / 1/3 = 45 miles per hour

He will need to be traveling at 45 miles per hour,
