Question 818594: I have the following two problems:
3(2/3 + 3/4) = 3(3/4 + 2/3) I think it's commutative property of addition because you are not regrouping (associative) but are reversing the order of the addition. Is this correct as commutative prop of addition?
7(4 · 5) = 7(5 · 4) I think it's commutative property of multiplication because you are not regrouping (associative) but are reversing the order of the multiplication. Is this correct as commutative prop of multiplication?

2+2.25=2.25+2
4.25=4.25
-----------------
28*35=35*28
980=980
multiplication can be done in any direction.
