Which equation shows the Commutative Propenty of Multiplication? \( \begin{array}{ll}\text { A. } 5 \times 1=5 & \text { B. } 8 \times 5=6 \times 8 \\ \text { C. } 2 \times 9-3 \times 9=(2-3) \times 7 & \text { D. } 7 \times 3=7+7+7\end{array} \)

The equation that shows the Commutative Property of Multiplication is option B: \( 8 \times 5 = 6 \times 8 \). This property states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. So, whether you multiply 8 by 5 or 5 by 8, you end up with the same result! To illustrate this concept further, let’s consider a practical example. If you’re making bags of candies and decide to put 5 candies in each of 8 bags, you'll end up with 40 candies. But if you decide to group them differently by putting 8 candies in each of 5 bags, you’ll still have 40 candies. That’s the magic of multiplication and the commutative property in action!
