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
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.
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.
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".
You multiply the first two. Then you multiply the result with the third number. Actually you can multiply in any order.

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.

It does not matter.
The answer is - 0.5
No, Order does not matter
No. Multiplication is commutative so the order of the multiplicands does not matter. Multiplication is associative so the order in which the operations are carried out does not matter.
If you use all those numbers as factors, it doesn't matter in which order you multiply - the result will always be the same.
