(2) Use the commutative property, write an equivalent expression \( 4(6)= \)

You can rearrange the multiplication using the commutative property to express \( 4(6) \) as \( 6(4) \). This means the order in which you multiply the numbers doesn’t change the product. So, whether you calculate \( 4 \times 6 \) or \( 6 \times 4 \), you’ll always get 24! To take this a step further, you might also explore the concept in different contexts. For example, if you’re organizing a bake sale, whether you decide to sell 4 dozen cookies at $6 each or 6 dozen cookies at $4 each, you will still be raking in the same total revenue! Math really does pop up in our daily lives in unexpected, practical ways!
