16x6 cannot have the associative property. The associative property requires two [identical] operations, applied to 3 variables. There are not enough operations nor variables/numbers in the question.
4 x 25 x 27 = (4 x 25) x 27 = 4 x (25 x 27) = (4 x 27) x 25 They all equal 2700.

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.
It is the associative property, according to which, you do not need to specify which of the two multiplications has to be carried out first.

No, this is the commutative property. For addition, the associative property is: x + (y + z) = (x + y ) + z
4 x 25 x 27 = (4 x 25) x 27 = 4 x (25 x 27) = (4 x 27) x 25 They all equal 2700.

The commutative property holds that the results are the same no matter the order. Multiplication is commutative since a x b = b x a. The associative property holds that the results are the same no matter the grouping as long as the order stays the same. Multiplication is associative since (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
(4X25) x 27
no
(a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
No. Rearranging numbers [2+3=3+2] is the commutative property. The associative property involves rearranging parentheses - (3 x 4) x 6 = 3 x (4 x 6).
No.
(a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
The associative property of multiplication. For an example of the associative property, read on. 2 x 3 x 4= 2 x 3 x 4. Simple, huh?
