Question

when a group of quantities connected by operators such as addition or multiplication gives the same result whatever the order of the quantities involved we are seeing ________ property at work.

Answer 1

When a group of quantities connected by addition or multiplication gives the same result regardless of the order of the quantities involved, we are seeing the **commutative property** at work.

For addition, this property states that \( a + b = b + a \), and for multiplication, it states that \( a \times b = b \times a \).
