Apply the Associative Property of Multiplication to rewrite the expression p⋅(q⋅r) .

1 answer

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped in a multiplication operation does not affect the product. In other words, for any numbers a,b, and c:

a(bc)=(ab)c.

Applying this property to the expression p(qr), we can rewrite it as:

(pq)r.

So, the expression p(qr) can be rewritten as (pq)r.
