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 the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product. In this case, regardless of how the numbers are grouped (whether you multiply 7 and 8 first or 8 and 9 first), the result will be the same.
