Q. Which property of multiplication is shown?4⋅1=1⋅4Choices:(A) associative(B) identity(C) commutative(D) zero
Analyze Equation: Analyze the equation to see how the numbers are being used.In the equation 4⋅1=1⋅4, the numbers 4 and 1 are being multiplied in different orders but result in the same product.
Match Property: Match the equation to the correct multiplication property.The commutative property of multiplication states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change the product, i.e., a⋅b=b⋅a.
Compare Equation: Compare the equation with the property.Since 4⋅1=1⋅4 matches the definition of the commutative property (changing the order of multiplication doesn't change the result), this is an example of the commutative property.
