Hi guys, I had a question on an assignment and I was hoping someone could help walk me through it. Here is the problem. Thanks!
Identify the property of real numbers shown in each situation.
You can find the cost of fish by multiplying the price per pound by the amount or by multiplying the amount by the price per pound.
I think I know the right answer but I just wanted someone to walk me through it in case I missed a step. Please respond as soon as you can. Ty!

walk you through what? What steps? There are only a few properties to choose from.
If you chose "commutative property of multiplication" you're right, though I cannot imagine why you would not just say so.

Sorry, I'm new to this whole thing, I only started my freshman this week. So, I'm just learning about this topic. I was thinking about the commutative property of multiplication as the answer, I just wanted to be sure. Thanks for your help :)
