a ⋅ (b ⋅ c )
a ⋅ ( b ⋅ c )

(b - a ) - c
( b - a ) - c

c(a ⋅ b)
c(a ⋅ b)

(a + b ) + c

Answer 1

The expression \((a ⋅ b) ⋅ c\) can be rewritten using the Associative Property of Multiplication, which states that the way in which factors are grouped in a multiplication problem does not change the product. Therefore, the equivalent expression is:

**a ⋅ (b ⋅ c)**

This choice reflects the associative property correctly.
