Question

Which of the following shows the Commutative Property of Multiplication?(1 point) Responses a×(−1)=−a a times left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis equals negative a a×1=a a times 1 equals a a×b=b×a a times b equals b times a a×(b×c)=(a×b)×c

Answer 1

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. The correct response that shows this property is:

**a × b = b × a**

This statement demonstrates that multiplying a by b yields the same result as multiplying b by a, which is exactly what the commutative property entails.
