Select the multiplication sentence that applies the commutative property of multiplication to the example.

Example: 5 * 8 = 40

A.

8 * 5 = 40

B.

10 * 4 = 40

C.

20 * 2 = 40

Answer : A

Example: 5 * 8 = 40

A. 8 * 5 = 40

the commutative property of multiplication allows us to multiply the numbers in any order without changing the product. In example we have 5 * 8. When we change the order it becomes 8 * 5. So here applies commutative property of multiplication.

B. 10 * 4 = 40

the commutative property of multiplication allows us to multiply the numbers in any order without changing the product. In example we have 5 * 8. When we change the order it becomes 8 * 5. So here it does not applies commutative property of multiplication.

C. 20 * 2 = 40

the commutative property of multiplication allows us to multiply the numbers in any order without changing the product. In example we have 5 * 8. When we change the order it becomes 8 * 5. So here it does not applies commutative property of multiplication.
