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 multiplication does not change the product. Therefore, you can rewrite the expression \( p \cdot (q \cdot r) \) using the associative property as:

\[ (p \cdot q) \cdot r \]

So, both \( p \cdot (q \cdot r) \) and \( (p \cdot q) \cdot r \) will yield the same result.
