The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not affect the product. This means that the expression \((a \cdot b) \cdot c\) can be rewritten by changing the grouping of the factors.
Using the Associative Property, the expression \((a \cdot b) \cdot c\) can be rewritten as:
\[ a \cdot (b \cdot c) \]
So, an equivalent expression is \( a \cdot (b \cdot c) \).
