Question

Which equation applies the associative property of multiplication?

A.−125 ⋅ (712 ⋅ 19) ⋅ 85 = (−125 ⋅ 712) ⋅ (19 ⋅ 85) ​
B. 12 ⋅ (58 + 36) = (12 ⋅ 58) + (12 ⋅ 36) ​
C.​ 49 ⋅ (−38) ⋅ 94 = 49 ⋅ 94 ⋅ (−38) ​
D. (−411 − 23) − 34 = −411 − (23 − 34)​

Answer 1

associative property of multiplication
answer
A.−125 ⋅ (712 ⋅ 19) ⋅ 85 = (−125 ⋅ 712) ⋅ (19 ⋅ 85) ​

Answer 2

Option A and Option C shoes associative property of multiplication.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Associative Property

• The associative property states that we multiply the numbers in any sequence, it does not depend on the how the numbers are grouped.
• If we multiply it does not matter where you put the parenthesis.
• We can follow any order for multiplication of numbers, the product remains the same.

A)
`-125* (712* 19) * 85 = (-125 * 712)* (19* 85)`

This shows the associative property of multiplication. No matter what order we choose for multiplication, the answer is always same.

B) This is distributive property.

C)
`49* (-38)* 94 = 49* 94* (-38)`

This shows the associative property of multiplication. No matter wha order we choose for multiplication, the answer is always same.

D) This is not a property of multiplication.
