Answer:

Associative property of multiplication

Explanation:

The expression is solved as follows :

(4×5)×2=4×(5×2)

Associative property of multiplication is as follows :

(a×b)×c = a×(b×c)

In this problem,

a = 4, b = 5 and c = 2

Hence, Associative property of multiplication is used to solve the given expression.
