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.
you solve the problem in your head with no help from calculators or number lines ect..
please help
it can help you by couting by 2s
i dont know the ansewr im only 5 could yo help me plees

You can do the easy bits first. Thus, to calculate 7*5*2, instead of doing 35*2 = 70, you can calculate 7*10 = 70. By itself, the associative property is not as useful as it is in combination with the commutative and distributive properties.
5*2 is 10 and 10*17 is 170
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
the property says that a+b+c is the same as a+c+b and it is the commutative property of addition.
For example, evaluate 17*5*20: Method 1: (17*5)*20 = 85*20 = 1,700. Method 2: 17*(5*20) = 17*100 = 1,700. Notice that by first multiplying 5*20 to get 100, the calculation is easy to do in your head. You can also use the commutative property to rearrange a question: 5*21*4 = 5*4*21 = 20*21 = 420
4 = 3 + 1 so 4 + 9 = (3 + 1) + 9 Then, by the associative property, = 3 + (1 + 9) = 3 + 10 = 13
rounding
According to the associative property when more than two numbers are multiplied, the order in which the numbers are multiplied will give the same product.
The commutative and associative properties are helpful when adding mixed numbers because they allow for flexibility in rearranging and grouping the numbers. The commutative property lets us change the order of the mixed numbers being added without affecting the sum, while the associative property lets us group different parts of the numbers together for easier calculation. This can simplify the addition process, particularly when dealing with fractions and whole numbers in mixed numbers. By using these properties, we can efficiently find a sum without getting confused by the complexity of the numbers.

You are free to choose whether to multiply first the left part: (4 x 25) x 27 or the right part: 4 x (25 x 27). Multiplying the left part first is easier; 4 x 25 is 100, and multiplying by 100 can easily be done in your head.
It is not. You simply multiply length x width.
