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

.

1 answer

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that how you group the numbers when multiplying does not change the product.

For the expression \( p \cdot (q \cdot r) \), you can apply the Associative Property by regrouping the numbers. This can be rewritten as:

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

Both expressions, \( p \cdot (q \cdot r) \) and \( (p \cdot q) \cdot r \), represent the same product due to the associative property.
