Q. Which equation shows the commutative property of multiplication?Choices:(A) 0=0⋅g(B) j+k=g⋅h(C) h⋅g=g⋅h(D) g⋅h−g⋅j=g⋅(h−j)
Identify Property: Identify the property of multiplication that involves rearranging the factors without changing the product.
Review Choices: Review each choice to see which one demonstrates the commutative property, which states that a×b=b×a.
Check (A): Check choice (A): 0=0⋅g. This is an identity property example, not commutative.
Check (B): Check choice (B): j+k=g⋅h. This involves addition and multiplication, not purely demonstrating commutative property.
Check (C): Check choice (C): h⋅g=g⋅h. This matches the definition of the commutative property, where the order of multiplication does not affect the outcome.
Check (D): Check choice (D): g⋅h−g⋅j=g⋅(h−j). This is an example of the distributive property, not commutative.
