Associative Property 2


You learned earlier about the associative propery of addition.
To review the associative property of addition, see here.

The associative property also applies to multiplication.

Here is an example of the associative property:

The answer is the same even with different groupings.
(5 * 2) * 4 = 5 * (2 * 4)
10 * 4 = 5 * 8
