Which property of multiplication is shown? h · j = j · h Choices: (A)zero (B)associative (C)identity (D)commutative

Identify Property: Identify the property of multiplication that states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change the product. The commutative property of multiplication is defined as a · b = b · a, which means that swapping the order of the factors does not affect the product.Compare Equation: Compare the given equation h · j = j · h with the definition of the commutative property. The equation matches the form of the commutative property, where h and j can be interchanged without changing the product.Select Answer Choice: Select the answer choice that corresponds to the property shown by the equation h · j = j · h. The correct choice is (D) commutative, as it reflects the property that the order of multiplication does not matter.

\newline

h \cdot j = j \cdot h

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A)zero

\newline

(B)associative

\newline

(C)identity

\newline

(D)commutative

Identify Property: Identify the property of multiplication that states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change the product. $\newline$ The commutative property of multiplication is defined as $a \cdot b = b \cdot a$ , which means that swapping the order of the factors does not affect the product.
Compare Equation: Compare the given equation $h \cdot j = j \cdot h$ with the definition of the commutative property. The equation matches the form of the commutative property, where $h$ and $j$ can be interchanged without changing the product.
Select Answer Choice: Select the answer choice that corresponds to the property shown by the equation $h \cdot j = j \cdot h$ . The correct choice is (D) commutative, as it reflects the property that the order of multiplication does not matter.
