The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. This is represented by the equation:

a × b = b × a

Therefore, the correct responses that show the Commutative Property of Multiplication are:

  • a × b = b × a
  • a times b equals b times a

These two statements reflect the Commutative Property.
