Best Answer

The commutative properties of addition and multiplication mean that the order of the numbers that you are adding or multiplying does not matter. You will get the same answer no matter the order in which you place the numbers.

6 + 3 + 10 = 3 + 10 + 6 = 19

5 x 8 x 12 = 8 x 12 x 5 = 480
