Answer 1

There is no such thing as multiplying three numbers at once. If you need to multiply three numbers, you must always start by multiplying two of the three first. Then you multiply that product by the third number. It does not matter in which order you multiply the three numbers because of the commutative and associative properties of multiplication.
