That's what the communtitive property is, changing the order. like 4+5=9; 5+4=9. So 4x5=20 and 5x4=20.
it any number can multiply by the same its commutative
commutative property 9X3
Multiplicative identity property
They are commutative if you find that putting your shoes on first and then your socks gives the same result as putting your socks on first and then the shoes. If it is not the same, then the activities are not commutative.
The distributive property is not used for simplified multiplication. See http://www.algebrahelp.com/lessons/simplifying/distribution for information about how to use the distributive property to simplify other equations. 20 x 12 is already simplified, so the proper way to solve it is 12 x20 ----- 240 You could potentially factor and use the commutative property to find a simpler equation, ex. 20x12 -- break 20 into 10 and 2 10x2x12 -- multiply 2 by 12 10x24 -- multiply by 10 240

commutative (order) property
The Commutative Property (of Multiplication) says that 4x5 = 5x4. So, If 4x5 = 20, then 5x4 will also be 20.
Commutative property means that the numbers can be in any order and give the same amount. So 5 x 4 = 4 x 5. Just switch 'em!
22 + 14 + 8 = 14 + 22 + 8 [the commutative property of addition allows you to change the order of the operands] = 14 + (22 + 8) [by the associative property, the order in which the additions are performed does not matter] = 14 + 30 = 44
commutative property 9X3
The commutative property of multiplication states that for numbers x and y, x*y = y*x It is hard to see how this can help in answering 7*8 unless you know the seven times table and not the eight times table or the other way around.
Commutative Property: 5 x 4 = 4 x 5 20 = 20
property of zero
Multiplicative identity property
You would use the Property Of Zero
Good question. Many people find it hard to understand which is which. Each of them has an addition version and a multiplication version.The commutative property is stated as: a+b=b+a, or ab = ba. Notice that the numbers (a and b) move back and forth. Think of a commuter, who travels back and forth to work each day.The associative property is stated as: (a+b)+c=a+(b+c) or (ab)c = a(bc). In this case the parentheses move back and forth, so you might want to call it the commutative property too! But there's something else going on here. Parentheses are grouping symbols, and a you group is the people you hang out with or associate with.So remember: If the grouping symbols move, it's the associative property. If it's the other one where things move, it's the commutative property.
