The following examples illustrate the associative property of multiplication. (5 · 3) · 6 = 5 · (3 · 6) 2 · (1.1 · 0.1) = (2 · 1.1) · 0.1 study the examples, then choose the statement that best describes the property.

the following examples illustrate the associative property of multiplication.

(5 · 3) · 6 = 5 · (3 · 6)

2 · (1.1 · 0.1) = (2 · 1.1) · 0.1

both are the examples of associative property of multiplication.

general form of associative property

(a*b)*c = a * (b * c)

second example is in reverse form when compared with general form of associative property.

so first example best describes the associative property.
