QuestionMP. 6 Be Precise Perry counted 8 leaves on each of 9 tree branches. Write a multiplication equation to find how many leaves there are in all. Then use the Commutative Property to find how many leaves there are on 8 tree branches that each have 9 leaves.

Studdy Solution
Calculate both expressions to ensure they yield the same result.
Calculate $8 \times 9$: $$8 \times 9 = 72$$
Calculate $9 \times 8$: $$9 \times 8 = 72$$
Both configurations result in 72 leaves.
The total number of leaves is:
$$\boxed{72}$$
