Product of 70 times 6000, use the associative and commutative properties to show how mark can calculate this product mentally

Answer:
[tex]70\times 6000=420000[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Expression 'Product of 70 times 6000'.
To find : Calculate the product using associative and commutative properties?
Solution :
Associative property of multiplication,
[tex]a\cdot (b\cdot c)=(a\cdot b)\cdot c[/tex]
Commutative property of multiplication,
[tex]a\cdot b=b\cdot a[/tex]
Now, We solve the expression using properties
[tex]70\times 6000=(7\times 10)\times (6\times 1000)[/tex]
[tex]70\times 6000=7\times 10\times 6\times 1000[/tex]
Applying Commutative property,
[tex]70\times 6000=7\times 6\times 10\times 1000[/tex]
Applying Associative property,
[tex]70\times 6000=42\times (10\times 1000)[/tex]
[tex]70\times 6000=42\times 10000[/tex]
[tex]70\times 6000=420000[/tex]
