Answer & Analysis
Answer
A
Analysis
A. The commutative property of multiplication states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not affect the product. Therefore, we can rearrange the factors in any order. Given the expression 5×3×9×5, we can rearrange it as: 5x5x3x9. This rearrangement uses the commutative property to change the order of the numbers while keeping the multiplication intact.
