Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
![3)\text{ }(32/16)/4\text{ = 32 }/\text{ \lparen16}/4)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/pzf76urend4yfk9110nq4f2jhazuvc1pvs.png)
To find:
the property demonstrated in the equation
Associative property is in the form:
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
The left side = right side
![\begin{gathered} (32/16)/4\text{ = 32 }/\text{ \lparen16}/4) \\ Associative\text{ property was applied but the left side is not equal to the right side} \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/dnik1psmebnhqlzh7cfj5gnu6sr5pve8vo.png)
That is why associative priperty is used for addition and multiplication
