If you know that \(4 \times 5 = 20\), how can you use the commutative property to find \(5 \times 4\)?

4x5=20 5x4=20
the Commutative Property allows you to rewrite the equation with out changing the answer. But only works with Multiplication and Addition.

The commutative property is the order in which they're presented, so if 4 5=20, the property allows you to switch the two, and you get 5 4=20.

The commutative property states that the order of numbers does not change the product; thus, 5 × 4 = 20 because 4 × 5 = 20 . This principle applies to both multiplication and addition. Therefore, using the commutative property, we find that 5 × 4 is also 20.
