3 Care Mad about Maths!: Think about this...

Think about this...

This is true for Multiplication -





3 x 4 is the same as 4 x 3


7 x 8 is the same as 8 x 7





Is the above true for the other operations? Addition? Subtraction? Division?

    We call this the Commutative Law of Multiplication. It is also true for Addition! Subtraction & Division does not follow this law! A round of applause for those who got it right!
