The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which factors are grouped does not change the product. In mathematical terms, this is represented as:

\((a \cdot b) \cdot c = a \cdot (b \cdot c)\)

From the options provided, the statement that demonstrates the Associative Property of Multiplication is:

\((3\cdot5)\cdot2 = 3\cdot(5\cdot2)\)

This shows that the grouping of the numbers being multiplied does not affect the result.

So the correct response is:

**(3⋅5)⋅2=3⋅(5⋅2)**
