Complete the statement below.The expression 11 × w x 3 = 11 × 3 × w11 × w x 3= 11 × w × 3(11 × w) × 3 = 11 × (w × 3)11 × (w × 3) = (11 × w ) + (11 × 3) illustrates the commutative property of multiplication.

The commutative property of multiplication says that changing the order of factors does not change the product. Choice A changes the order from 11 × w × 3 to 11 × 3 × w, so it illustrates that property. Choice C instead illustrates the associative property by changing the grouping.
