The Associative Property states that changing the grouping or order of terms does not change the result. Let's analyze each expression to determine which ones can be rewritten using the Associative Property:
A. (5⋅8)+3
The expression (5⋅8)+3 is already in a simplified form, and it cannot be rewritten using the Associative Property.
B. (5+8)⋅3
The expression (5+8)⋅3 can be rewritten using the Associative Property. We can rearrange the parentheses to get (5⋅3)+(8⋅3).
C. (9⋅5)+8+3
The expression (9⋅5)+8+3 is already in a simplified form, and it cannot be rewritten using the Associative Property.
D. (9⋅5)⋅(8⋅3)
The expression (9⋅5)⋅(8⋅3) is already in a simplified form, and it cannot be rewritten using the Associative Property.
Therefore, the expression that can be rewritten using the Associative Property is B. (5+8)⋅3.
