This video tutorial explains how to rewrite multiplication problems using the commutative and associative properties. It highlights the ability to change the order and grouping of numbers in multiplication without affecting the result. The video provides examples with rational and whole numbers, demonstrating how these properties simplify calculations. It also warns against common mistakes, such as applying these properties to division, and concludes with a summary of the key points.

Provide an example of using the commutative property with rational numbers.
