To solve this worksheet, we need to identify which equation in each question shows the
Commutative Property of Multiplication.
What is the Commutative Property?
This property says that you can swap the order of the numbers you are multiplying, and the answer stays the same.
* Rule: $a \times b = b \times a$
* Example: $3 \times 4$ is the same as $4 \times 3$.
Let's look at each problem step-by-step:
1)
* A. Identity Property ($6 \times 1 = 6$)
* B. Associative Property (grouping changed)
* C.
Commutative Property ($6 \times 2$ became $2 \times 6$)
* D. Inverse Property
*
Correct Choice: C
2)
* A.
Commutative Property ($9 \times 3$ became $3 \times 9$)
* B. Distributive Property
* C. Associative Property
* D. Identity Property
*
Correct Choice: A
3)
* A. Identity Property
* B. Distributive Property
* C.
Commutative Property ($5 \times 11$ became $11 \times 5$)
* D. Associative Property
*
Correct Choice: C
4)
* A. Inverse Property
* B. Associative Property
* C. Distributive Property
* D.
Commutative Property ($2 \times 5$ became $5 \times 2$)
*
Correct Choice: D
5)
* A.
Commutative Property ($11 \times 8$ became $8 \times 11$)
* B. Associative Property
* C. Identity Property
* D. Inverse Property
*
Correct Choice: A
6)
* A. Identity Property
* B.
Commutative Property ($10 \times 2$ became $2 \times 10$)
* C. Inverse Property
* D. Distributive Property
*
Correct Choice: B
7)
* A. Identity Property
* B. Associative Property
* C. Distributive Property
* D.
Commutative Property ($3 \times 9$ became $9 \times 3$)
*
Correct Choice: D
8)
* A. Associative Property
* B.
Commutative Property ($7 \times 10$ became $10 \times 7$)
* C. Inverse Property
* D. Distributive Property
*
Correct Choice: B
9)
* A.
Commutative Property ($12 \times 6$ became $6 \times 12$)
* B. Identity Property
* C. Distributive Property
* D. Associative Property
*
Correct Choice: A
10)
* A. Distributive Property
* B. Associative Property
* C.
Commutative Property ($4 \times 9$ became $9 \times 4$)
* D. Identity Property
*
Correct Choice: C
