How can you use the commutative property to find5 times 4?
The commutative property isn't of much use in this situation, since it states that 5 x 4 = 4 x 5 Either way, it equals 20.
What is the property of 6 plus 4 equals 4 plus 6?
The commutative property of addition
6 x 4 4 x 6 shows what property?
×4 = 4×6 what is the property o that we were using?
What is the commutative property of 4x3 equals 12?
3*4 = 12 as well.
What is commutative property of subtraction?
Commutative means things can move or commute. For example A+B=B+A But A-B does NOT equal B-A. The example A+B=B+A is an example of the commutative property of addition. More formally: An operation is commutative if you can change the order of the numbers involved without changing the result. Subtraction does NOT have a commutative property because you cannot change the order. Here is one last concrete example. 5-4=1 and 4-5 =-1 If you know about absolute value, then you might know that |5-4|=|4-5|=1 and in general |a-b|=|b-a|, but this does not mean that subtraction commutes.
