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 \( a \times b = b \times a \).
