Question

Which choice shows 50 x 36 x 2
rewritten correctly using the commutative property and then simplified correctly?

Answer 1

To apply the commutative property, we can rearrange the factors in any order. The expression \(50 \times 36 \times 2\) can be rewritten in a different order, such as:

\[
2 \times 50 \times 36
\]

Now, let's simplify it step by step. First, we can multiply \(2\) and \(50\):

\[
2 \times 50 = 100
\]

Next, we multiply \(100\) by \(36\):

\[
100 \times 36 = 3600
\]

So, the expression \(50 \times 36 \times 2\) rewritten using the commutative property and simplified correctly results in:

\[
3600
\]
