Question

Select the multiplication sentence that applies the associative property of multiplication to the example. Example: (3 × 2) × 6 = 36 A. 3 × (2 × 6) = 36 B. (3 + 2) × 6 = 30 C. 6 + (5 × 6) = 36 D. 3 × (2 + 6) = 24

Answer 1

Answer : A

A. 3 × (2 × 6) = 36

we have 3 times 2 times 6.  All the numbers have multiplication in between . so it comes under Associative property of multiplication.

B. (3 + 2) × 6 = 30

we have 3+2 . there is a + sign in between.  so it does not comes under Associative property of multiplication

C. 6 + (5 × 6) = 36

we have 6 +  . there is a + sign in between.  so it does not comes under Associative property of multiplication

D. 3 × (2 + 6) = 24

we have 2 + 6 . there is a + sign in between.  so it does not comes under Associative property of multiplication
