Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 6 × 5.

  1. Read the property clue: Identify whether the equation shows switching factors, regrouping factors, breaking apart a factor, multiplying by one, or multiplying by zero.
  2. Apply the property: The commutative property says 5 × 6 and 6 × 5 have the same product.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 6 × 5.

The commutative property says 5 × 6 and 6 × 5 have the same product.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation shows the same product as 7 × 2?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 2 × 7.

  1. Read the property clue: Identify whether the equation shows switching factors, regrouping factors, breaking apart a factor, multiplying by one, or multiplying by zero.
  2. Apply the property: Switching 7 and 2 gives 2 × 7, which has the same product.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 2 × 7.

Switching 7 and 2 gives 2 × 7, which has the same product.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation is equal to 8 × 3?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 3 × 8.

  1. Read the property clue: Identify whether the equation shows switching factors, regrouping factors, breaking apart a factor, multiplying by one, or multiplying by zero.
  2. Apply the property: The factors can switch places: 8 × 3 = 3 × 8.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 3 × 8.

The factors can switch places: 8 × 3 = 3 × 8.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation shows the commutative property for 9 × 4?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 4 × 9 = 9 × 4.

  1. Read the property clue: Identify whether the equation shows switching factors, regrouping factors, breaking apart a factor, multiplying by one, or multiplying by zero.
  2. Apply the property: Both sides have the same two factors in a different order.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 4 × 9 = 9 × 4.

Both sides have the same two factors in a different order.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation is equal to 10 × 7?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 7 × 10.

  1. Read the property clue: Identify whether the equation shows switching factors, regrouping factors, breaking apart a factor, multiplying by one, or multiplying by zero.
  2. Apply the property: Switching the factors keeps the product the same, so 10 × 7 = 7 × 10.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 7 × 10.

Switching the factors keeps the product the same, so 10 × 7 = 7 × 10.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which statement about 6 × 6 is true?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Switching the factors gives the same equation.

  1. Read the property clue: Identify whether the equation shows switching factors, regrouping factors, breaking apart a factor, multiplying by one, or multiplying by zero.
  2. Apply the property: Because both factors are 6, switching them produces the same fact: 6 × 6 = 6 × 6.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Switching the factors gives the same equation.

Because both factors are 6, switching them produces the same fact: 6 × 6 = 6 × 6.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Frequently asked questions about Grade 3 Properties of Multiplication

What is the commutative property?

The commutative property says that switching the order of the factors does not change the product, such as 3 × 4 = 4 × 3.

What is the distributive property?

The distributive property lets you break apart a factor, such as 6 × 7 = 6 × 5 + 6 × 2.
