James thinks that the commutative
property of multiplication simplifies
4.8 x (0.5 x 2.95) to 2 x 4 x 2.95. Is James
correct? Explain your reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

The commutative property of multiplication explains that it doesn't matter in what order you multiply numbers, it is still same

a*b = b*a

for 4.8 x (0.5 x 2.95) =( 4.8 x 0.5 )x 2.95 = 2.4 x 2.95 so we can justify these from the the commutative property which explain that it does not matter in what order you multiply

answer: the 4 kilogram bag
