Question

Maggie writes the equations below to find the unknown number in 14 x 2 to x 3 equals which pair of the equation shows another way that Maggie could find a unknown number

Answer 1

Multiplication has the associative property, this means that you can compute 14 x 2 x 3, computing first 14 x 2 = 28, and then 28 x 3 = 84; or you can compute first 2 x 3 = 6, and then 14 x 6 = 84 (second option)
