Use the associative property of multiplication to write an expression equivalent to
8x*(4y*7z)
(8x*4y)*7z.
20
To use the associative property of multiplication, you can rearrange the grouping of the terms without changing the value of the expression.
Given the expression 8x * (4y * 7z), let's first simplify the inner parentheses by multiplying 4y and 7z:
8x * (4y * 7z)
= 8x * (28yz)
Now, we can apply the associative property by rearranging the grouping of the terms:
= (8x * 28yz)
To further simplify, we multiply the coefficients and combine the variables:
= 224xyz
Therefore, the expression equivalent to 8x * (4y * 7z) using the associative property of multiplication is 224xyz.
