When you keep the numbers in the same order but change the parenthesis placement you can think of the parenthesis as associating those numbers with each other

OpenStudy (raihigirl):

No associative

So if the answer is the same no matter how you associate the numbers (in other words no matter which pair you compute in which order) then it obeys the associative property
