Question

If Ram has 10 boxes of apples each box containing 5 apples and Ramesh has 5 boxes of apples each box containing 10 apples. Then who has more number of apples? Which property does this problem shows?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

No of boxes ram has=10

each box consist 5 apples

so, no of apple in 10 boxes= 10×5= 50

again,

no of boxes Ramesh has=5

each box consist 10 apple

so, no of apple in 5 boxes =5×10=50

Hence, both has the equal number of apples

Answer 2

Answer:

If Ram and Ramesh have 5 and 10 boxes of apples respectively and each apple boxes of Ram and Ramesh have 10 and 5 apples respectively, then both of them have an equal number of apples

And the commutative property explains the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of boxes of apple Ram has = 10

Number of apples in each box = 5

The total number of apple Ram has = 5*10 = 50

Number of boxes of apple Ramesh has = 5

Number of apples in each box = 10

The total number of apples Ramesh has = 10*5= 50

Here, both of them have equal quantities of apples.

That is,

5 × 10 = 10 × 5

This property is called the commutative property

Where, a × b = b × a
