8x5=40
Find the product AND write the name of the property shown.
(8x4)x2 = (2x4)x8
The product is 64.
This shows the associative property of multiplication because you can group the factors differently and the product stays the same.
Nathan has 6 comic books. Each comic book has 10 pages with 2 pictures on each page. Nolan has 2 comic books. Each comic book has 10 pages with 6 pictures on each page.
Write TWO multiplication equations. One should show how many pictures Nathan has in his books, and one should show how many pictures Nolan has in his books. Then, figure out who has more pictures.
Nathan: 6x(10x2)=120 pictures
Nolan: 2x(10x6)=120 pictures
They have the same amount of pictures in their comic books.
