Question

4. (5 x 3) x 2 = 5 x (3 x 2) is an example of which property?

A) Commutative Property for Addition
B) Associative Property for Multiplication
O C) Distributive Property for Multiplication
D) Commutative Property for Multiplication

Answer 1

The answer would be b

Answer 2

B, Associative property for multiplication

Explanation:

Commutative property means the numbers can be multiplied in any order, so the (5 x 3) x 2 could be written as 3 x 5 x 2 and would be the same.

Associative property deals more with groupings of terms/numbers. Since the order of the numbers stayed the same, and the parentheses are moved, this is an example of the associative property.
