Answer

Here the order of the two rational numbers has been changed but the product remains the same.

If ab and cd\dfrac{a}{b} \text{ and } \dfrac{c}{d} are any two rational numbers, then ab×cd=cd×ab\dfrac{a}{b} \times \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{c}{d} \times \dfrac{a}{b}

Hence, the given statement illustrates the commutative law of multiplication.
