I hope this helps! Have a nice day!
It's obviously going to be a multiplication property, because multiplication is being used here.
It's not multiplicative inverses. (this is when two numbers, specifically something like 2 and 1/2, multiply to make 1)
It's also not the distributive property. An example of that would be if you had 5(3+8) and you multiplied the 5 into each term inside the parentheses to get 15+40.
The correct answer would be the associative property of multiplication<em /><em>,</em> which states that you can multiply numbers together in any order. Here, we have 5 times (3 times 8), but the parentheses can be ignored because of this property. Then we would go ahead and just do the 5 times 3 to get the 15×8.
1st is 5. 2nd is 7. 3rd is 4. 4th is 3/5. 5th is 2. 6 is -1/4. 7is 5/6. 8 is 8/7
