Question

Simplify –56 ⋅ 25 ⋅ 4. State a property that you can use.

Answer 1

Answer:  $-56\cdot 25\cdot 4 = -5600$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Associative property of multiplication : We can group numbers to multiply in any order like

$p\times (q \times r) = (p\times q )\times r = p\times q\times r$, where p , q and r can be any expression.

The given expression : $-56\cdot 25\cdot 4$

By using associative property of multiplication, we have

$-56\cdot(25\cdot 4)\\\\= -56\cdot 100\\\\=-5600$

Hence, $-56\cdot 25\cdot 4 = -5600$ .
