In the Associative Property of Multiplication, the grouping of numbers does not change the final result. This property allows us to change the grouping of numbers without affecting the product.
Let's analyze the options:
1. (3+5)⋅2=3+(5⋅2)
This is an example of the Distributive Property, not the Associative Property. It involves multiplying a sum by a number.
2. (3⋅5)⋅2=(3⋅5)⋅2
This equation states that a product of two numbers, (3⋅5), multiplied by 2 is equal to the same product, (3⋅5), multiplied by 2. This is an example of the Reflexive Property, not the Associative Property.
3. (3⋅5)⋅2=3⋅(5⋅2)
This option shows that the grouping of multiplication can be changed without affecting the final result. The product of 3⋅5 (15) is multiplied by 2 in the first expression, while in the second expression, the product of 5⋅2 (10) is multiplied by 3. As the order of multiplication can be changed while keeping the final result the same, this is an example of the Associative Property of Multiplication.
4. (3⋅5)+2=(3+5)⋅2
This is an example of the Distributive Property, not the Associative Property. It involves multiplying a sum by a number.
Therefore, the correct answer that demonstrates the Associative Property of Multiplication is option 3: (3⋅5)⋅2=3⋅(5⋅2).
