The associative property states, no matter how you order three or more integers being added, they will always equal the same solution.
For example, A + (B + C) = (A +B) + C

The equation is correct but the description is not.
When you say "no matter how you order three or more integers" you are implying that A + B + C = A + C + B and that need not be true.
Associativity refers to the order in which the summation is carried out. That does not matter.

What is the sum of 301 plus 173 plus 427 using mental math and the associative property of addition.?
301 + 173 + 427 = 301 + (173 + 427) = 301 + 600 = 901
Which of the expressions below cannot be rewritten using the associative property?
12/(17/2)
What is the commutative property of addition using decimals?
The commutative property for any two numbers, X and Y, is X # Y = Y # X where # can stand for addition or multiplication. Whether the numbers are written as integers, rational fractions, irrationals or decimal numbers is totally irrelevant.
Multiply by using distributive property n 4n 9?
You need the associative and commutative properties, but not the distributive property. n*4n*9 =n*(4n*9) (associative) = n*(9*4n) (commutative) = n*(36n) (associative) = 36n*n commutative = 36*n^2
Is adding zero to any number is an example of using the inverse property for addition?
no
How can the associative property can be used to mentally find the volume of a prism?
In general, the associative property cannot be used for this purpose. The volume of a prism is the area of cross section multiplied by the length, and except in the case of a rectangular prism, there is no scope for using the associative property.
What is the sum of 301 plus 173 plus 427 using mental math and the associative property of addition.?
301 + 173 + 427 = 301 + (173 + 427) = 301 + 600 = 901
Which of the expressions below cannot be rewritten using the associative property?
12/(17/2)

Multiply by using distributive property n 4n 9?
You need the associative and commutative properties, but not the distributive property. n*4n*9 =n*(4n*9) (associative) = n*(9*4n) (commutative) = n*(36n) (associative) = 36n*n commutative = 36*n^2
In the following problem what property allows you to multiply 5 by 2 before multiplying by 13?
I am guessing your problem is to compute 5 times 2 times 13. In this case, the property you are using the associative property.
Simplify law of addition?
The Associative Law of Addition says that changing the grouping of numbers that are added together does not change their sum. This law is sometimes called the Grouping Property. Examples: x + (y + z) = (x + y) + z. Here is an example using numbers where x = 5, y = 1, and z = 7.
What are three equations using integers to illustrate the distributive property?
15•(3÷b)=45÷b identify the property the statement illustrates
How can you show the associative property of multiplication using the numbers 2 and negative 2?
Answer: The associative property involves three numbers, not two. Of course, you can use one of the numbers more than once. For example, show, by calculation, that (2 x 2) x -2 = 2 x (2 x -2).
What is the answer to 4 times 25 times 27 using the a associative property of multiplication?
4*25*27 = (4*25)*27 = 100*27 = 2700
Is adding zero to any number is an example of using the inverse property for addition?
no
What are the properties of addition?
There are 5 Properties:CLOSURE-The sum of two integers is an integer.EX. 5+9=14 (14 is an integer)COMMUTATIVE-Changing the order of the addends does not change the sum.EX. 8+4=4+8ASSOCIATIVE-Changing the grouping of the addends does not change the sum.EX. (-5+4)+6=-5+(4+6)IDENTITY-The sum of an integer and zero equals the original integer.EX. -2+0=0+(-2)=-2INVERSE-The sum of any integer and its additive inverse equals zero, the identity element of addition.EX. 6+(-6)=-6+6=0* * * * *Commutativity and associativity are properties of addition. The others are properties of the set over which addition is defined, not of addition itself.
