Thank you!!
You're welcome.
Yes, you are correct! The commutative property, also known as the order property, applies to addition and multiplication. This property states that the order in which you add or multiply numbers does not affect the result. In other words, if you switch the order of the numbers being added or multiplied, you will still get the same answer.
For example, if we have the numbers 2 and 3:
- The commutative property of addition states that 2 + 3 is equal to 3 + 2.
- The commutative property of multiplication states that 2 * 3 is equal to 3 * 2.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: Add and Multiply.
