Question
Which expression is an example of the associative property of multiplication
(7 x 8) x 9 = 7 x (8 x 9)
7 (8 + 9) = 119
7 + 9 + 8 = 9 + 7 + 8
7 x 8 x 9 = 8 x 9 x7
(7 x 8) x 9 = 7 x (8 x 9)
7 (8 + 9) = 119
7 + 9 + 8 = 9 + 7 + 8
7 x 8 x 9 = 8 x 9 x7

The expression that is an example of the associative property of multiplication is:
\((7 \times 8) \times 9 = 7 \times (8 \times 9)\)
The associative property states that when multiplying three or more numbers, the way in which the numbers are grouped does not affect the product. In this case, whether you multiply \( (7 \times 8) \) first or \( (8 \times 9) \) first, the result will be the same.
\((7 \times 8) \times 9 = 7 \times (8 \times 9)\)
