Order of Multiplication:
Example:
Example 1:
We know that,
\(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{8}\)
Similarly,
\(\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}\)
Example 2:
In general,
Consider a rectangle.
Area of rectangle remains the same even if the length and breadth are interchanged.
From the above two examples we conclude that,
The order of multiplication does not matter
\(\frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \times c}{b \times d}\)
