Associative property would look like the following: 5 + (3 + 2) = (5 + 3) + 2 = 10
The associative power applies to an operation- such as multiplication or addition - not to specific numbers.
5*17*2 The commutative property allows yu to swap the 17 and 2: = 5*2*17 The associative property allows you to group 5 and 2 to evaluate first = (5*2)*17 = 10*17 = 170
If there is an equals sign between the 3 and 5 of 35, then it is the associative property of multiplication.
(8 x 5) x 2 = 8 x (5 x 2)
(75/25) / 5 = 3/5 = 0.6 75 / (25/5) = 75/5 = 15

associative property
The associative property of a binary operator denoted by ~ states that form any three numbers a, b and c, (a ~ b) ~ c = a ~ (b ~ c) and so we can write either as a ~ b ~ c without ambiguity. The associative property of means that you can change the grouping of the expression and still have the same result. Addition and multiplication of numbers are associative, subtraction and division are not.
5*23*2 = 23*5*2 (commutative property)= 23*(5*2) (associative property) = 23*10 = 230.
Suppose you were trying to multiply 17 x 5 x 2. The associative property states that (17 x 5) x 2 = 17 x (5 x 2) The second one is easier to do in your head.
5*17*2 The commutative property allows yu to swap the 17 and 2: = 5*2*17 The associative property allows you to group 5 and 2 to evaluate first = (5*2)*17 = 10*17 = 170
If there is an equals sign between the 3 and 5 of 35, then it is the associative property of multiplication.
(8 x 5) x 2 = 8 x (5 x 2)
Yes.
I am guessing your problem is to compute 5 times 2 times 13. In this case, the property you are using the associative property.
