B) zero property
C) commutative property
D) associative property
The commutative property states that changing the order of factors does not change the product (e.g., 3 × 4 = 4 × 3).
2. What is the product of 9 × 7?

1. 8 × 9 = 72.
8 × 9 = 72 because 8 groups of 9 equals 72.
2. 1 × 1 = 1.
1 × 1 = 1 because the identity property says any number times 1 equals itself.
3. 7 × 4 = 4 × 7.
By the commutative property, 7 × 4 = 4 × 7.
4. The product of 6 and 9 is 54.
6 × 9 = 54 because 6 groups of 9 equals 54.
5. 5 × 5 × 1 = 25.
5 × 5 = 25, and 25 × 1 = 25.
