Question

Please Help!
Explain how applying the Commutative Property of Multiplication to twenty-five times twenty-two times 4 makes it easier to simplify. Show the solution in your explanation.

Answer 1

25*22*4
commumutative property states a*b=b*a
so we can write 25*22*4 as 25*4*22 ....correct?
now the fact that 25*4 is 100 makes it easier to simplify because 100*22 is much more simpler than first multiplying 25 by 22 and then 4
