Identify the property of multiplication used in the given equation.

5 x 9 = 9 x 5
A. Associative property
B. Commutative property
C. Distributive property
D. Identity property
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Let’s consider the given equation:

5 x 9 = 9 x 5

Notice that only the order of numbers is changing.

5 x 9 = 45

9 x 5 = 45

According to commutative property of multiplication, when two numbers are multiplied together, the order of numbers does not affect the product or result.

a x b = b x a, where a and b are any numbers (not equal to zero).

So, the commutative property of multiplication is used in the given equation.
