Question

2 x (3 x 5)

Rewrite the expression below to demonstrate the associative property of multiplication.

Answer 1

\[(2\times 3)\times 5\]

Answer 2

2*(3*5)
= 2*15
= 30
OR
(2*3)*5
= 6*5
= 30
In whatever way you multiply the numbers, you get 30. So the expression demonstrates the associative property of multiplication.

Answer 3

you can't "demostrate" that property, the associative property is an axiom of the real number with the multiplication. axiom is a property, or sentence, accepted as true, without demostration.
