The Associative Property of multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change their product. In mathematical terms, this property can be expressed as:
\[
a \times (b \times c) = (a \times b) \times c
\]
Using this property, we can rewrite the expression \( p \times (q \times r) \) as:
\[
(p \times q) \times r
\]
Thus, an equivalent expression for \( p \times (q \times r) \) is \( (p \times q) \times r \).
\[
a \times (b \times c) = (a \times b) \times c
\]
Using this property, we can rewrite the expression \( p \times (q \times r) \) as:
\[
(p \times q) \times r
\]
Thus, an equivalent expression for \( p \times (q \times r) \) is \( (p \times q) \times r \).
