property of real numbers check please

which property of real numbers is illustrated by the following statements?

11.3 = 3.11
commutative property of multiplication
associative property of multiplication

I'm thinking cummutative property of multiplication correct??

(8+10) + 15 = 8 + (10 +15)

commutative property of addition
associative property of addition
