We are given expression: (3×2)×5.

We can see we have multiplication sign there.

Therefore, we can apply associative property of multiplication.

The associative property of multiplication is :

(a × b) × c = a × ( b × c).

We just need to regroup the multiplications.

On applying associative property of multiplication in (3×2)×5 , we get

3×(2×5).

Therefore, 3×(2×5) is the another way to group the factor (3×2)×5.
