What does commutative property of multiplication mean in math?
the order in which you multiply the numbers doesn't matter. example: 6x4x2 you can multiply it in that order, or you can do 6x2x4
What is assiociative property of multiplication?
Associative property of multiplication states that: (ab)c = a(bc) In words, no matter which order you multiply the numbers by, you obtain the same results.
Do to convert a room 20ft by 30ft into square feet?
All you need to do is multiply the length by the width, and it doesn't matter in what order you do it. 20ft X30ft= 600 square feet.
When and why does order matter in math?
The order of operations formalizes the route (the convention) through a mathematical equation. As an example 2+6x2=? gives one answer when the order (Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract) is followed and a wrong answer if it is not. Worked out properly we multiply 6x2 first to get 12 then add 2 to get 14. If we simply do the actions in the order they occur we add 2+6 to get 8 then multiply by 2 to get 16.The complete order of operations is a bit more complicated than used in this example, it is "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and/or Division, and Addition and/or Subtraction".
How do you multiply three integers?
You multiply the first two. Then you multiply the result with the third number. Actually you can multiply in any order.

What property of multiplication states that the order in which you multiply two variables doesnt matter?
commutative
What is 20x2x30 equals?
20x2x30=120. It doesn't matter which order you do the multiplication - the answer is the same. 20 x 2 is 60, then multiply that by 30 and you get 120.

What unit of measurement should you have your dimensions in before you multiply?
It does not matter.
What number is the same no matter if you multiply it or add it by 4?
The answer is - 0.5
Does the order of numbers matter for set form in algebra?
No, Order does not matter
What is the least possible product of 1 2 6 8 in a multiplication sentence?
If you use all those numbers as factors, it doesn't matter in which order you multiply - the result will always be the same.
How would you solve 8x5x22?
Well you would do 8x5x22. Or 5x22x8. It doesn't really matter what order they're in, as long as you multiply all of them together. It's 880, just so you know.
