Which of the following shows the communicative property of multiplication
A: a times ( b times c)= (a times b) times c
B: a times 1=a
C: a times (-1)=-a
D a times b = b times A
A: a times (b times c) = (a times b) times c
The correct answer is option A: "a times (b times c) = (a times b) times c".
The communicative property of multiplication states that changing the order of the numbers being multiplied does not change the result. In other words, when multiplying three numbers, a, b, and c, we can multiply them in any order and still get the same product.
