Question

9. Which property is illustrated by (6 x 5) x 4 =6 x (5 x 4)?

Answer 1

The property is Associative property of multiplication.

Explanation:

Associative property

(a x b ) x c = (a x b ) x c

It is given that, (6 x 5) x 4 = 6 x (5 x 4)

To find the property

From the given statement (6 x 5) x 4 =6 x (5 x 4) we get, the corresponding property is associative property of multiplication.

To find LHS and RGHS

LHS = (6 x 5) x 4 = 30 x 4 = 120

RHS = 6 x (5 x 4) = 6 x 20 = 120

Answer 2

For this case we have that by definition:

`(a * b) * c = a * (b * c)`

Indicates an example of the associative property of multiplication.

`(6 * 5) * 4 = 6 * (5 * 4)\\30 * 4 = 6 * 20\\120 = 120`

Similarly, we observe the associative property of multiplication

Answer:

associative property of multiplication
