Question

Which options represents commutative property?

• A. 10 x 12 = 12 x 10
• B. 8 + 10 = 10 + 8
• C. 8 x 12 - 8 x 2 = 8 x (10 - 2)
• D. 7 x 8 + 7 x 2 = 7 x (8 + 2)

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

10 x 12 = 12 x 10

B

8 + 10 = 10 + 8

7 x 8 + 7 x 2 = 7 x (8 + 2) represents distributive property of multiplication over addition.

8 x 12 - 8 x 2 = 8 x (10 - 2) represents distributive property of multiplication over subtraction.

10 x 12 = 12 x 10 represents commutative property of multiplication

8 + 10 = 10 + 8 represents commutative property of addition.

Hence options A and B are correct.
