(3 x 10) x 8 = 3 x (10 x 8)
this is called the associative property of multiplication.
it states : (a * b) * c = a * (b * c)

Answer:

Associative property of multiplication

Explanation:

By the associative property of multiplication,

During multiplying three terms we can multiply any of two first ( that is we can grouped any two by parenthesis )

if a, b and c are any number,


\implies (a* b)* c=a* (b* c)

Hence, in the problem,


(3* 10)* 8=3* (10* 8)

Associative property of multiplication is used.
