Question

State true/false: We can change the order of fractions in

multiplication.

A) true

B) false​

Answer 1

We can change the order of fractions in multiplication, the statement is 'TRUE'.

Given that:

• A statement.
• We can change the order of fractions in multiplication.

To find:

• State the statement is true or false.

Solution:

Yes, It is true that if we change the order of fractions the result of multiplication remains the same.

Commutative Property:

Multiplication of two/more numbers follows commutative law.

i.e.

$\bf a \times b = b \times a$

This is follows by fractions of multiplication also.

i.e.

$\bf \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{c}{d} \times \frac{a}{b}$

For example:

$2 \times 5 = 10$

and

$5 \times 2 = 10$

so,

$2 \times 5 = 5 \times 2$

For fractions:

$\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{6}{5}$

and

$\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$

Thus,

$\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{4}{5}$

Thus,

The statement is 'TRUE' that,

We can change the order of fractions in multiplication.
