Final answer:
The given sequence of calculations does not involve either the distributive or associative property.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence of calculations does not involve either the distributive or associative property. The calculations are performed using only the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
For example, in the calculation 36 ÷ 2 = 18, division is applied. In the calculation 5 × 2 = 10, multiplication is applied. And in the calculation 18 × 10 = 180, multiplication is applied again.
Therefore, the answer is neither A. Distributive, nor B. Associative.
