Answer:

The correct answer D) 4/9⋅(−3/8)⋅9/4=4/9⋅9/4⋅(−3/8)

Explanation:

This property states that no matter which way we group things when multiplying, they will still create the same outcome. Since all of the symbols are multiplication, the answer is the same even though the order of the numbers is different.
