The commutative property of multiplication states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not affect the product.

Using the commutative property of multiplication, we can rearrange the order of the factors without changing the product.

Given the factors 2.5 and 4, the two multiplication sentences that can be written are: 2.5 x 4 = 10   4 x 2.5 = 10. So the correct answer is D.
