use properties and mental math to find

the value.
(10times8)times3
8times(3times5)
(36+42)+24

(10*8)*3 =10*(8*3) Associative Property

= 10*24
=240

8*(3*5) = 8*(5*3) Commutative Property
=(8*5)*3 Associative Property
=40*3
=120

(36 + 42) + 24 = (42 + 36) + 24 Commutative
= 42 + (36 + 24) Associative
= 42 + 60
= 102
