The commutative property of multiplication states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change the product. This means that for any two numbers a and b: a×b=b×a.
A. 5×9y=9×5y
Explanation: This expression incorrectly states 5×9y equals 9×5y because the y should not be included in the multiplication of 5. This does not show the commutative property.
B. x²×0=0
Explanation: This expression demonstrates the property that any number multiplied by zero results in zero. It does not show the commutative property of multiplication.
