Answer 1

To complete the equations using the Associative Property of Multiplication, we need to rearrange the numbers appropriately. Here are the completed equations:

1. For the equation \( (8 \times 7) \times 3 = 8 \times (Response area \times 3) \):

   • The missing number in the response area is 7.
   • Complete equation: \( (8 \times 7) \times 3 = 8 \times (7 \times 3) \).

2. For the equation \( 4 \times (9 \times 6) = (4 \times 9) \times Response area \):

   • The missing number in the response area is 6.
   • Complete equation: \( 4 \times (9 \times 6) = (4 \times 9) \times 6 \).

3. For the equation \( (3 \times 5) \times 8 = Response area \times (5 \times 8) \):

   • The missing number in the response area is 3.
   • Complete equation: \( (3 \times 5) \times 8 = 3 \times (5 \times 8) \).

So the responses are:

• First response area: 7
• Second response area: 6
• Third response area: 3
