The equation that exemplifies the Associative Property of Multiplication is:
1 plus (7 plus 8) equals (1 plus 7) plus 8
The equation that exemplifies the Associative Property of Multiplication is:
1 plus (7 plus 8) equals (1 plus 7) plus 8
To explain how to determine this, we need to understand the Associative Property of Multiplication. This property states that the grouping of numbers being multiplied does not affect the result. In other words, you can group the numbers in different ways and still get the same answer.
In the given equations, we can observe that the second equation matches the Associative Property of Multiplication. This is because the equation involves addition and grouping of numbers within parentheses.
The first equation does not exemplify the Associative Property of Multiplication since it only involves the multiplication operation, and the numbers are not grouped differently.
The third equation also does not exhibit the Associative Property of Multiplication because the numbers are multiplied directly, without any grouping or changes in the order of multiplication.
The fourth equation does not demonstrate the Associative Property of Multiplication either because the multiplication operation is applied directly without any grouping or rearrangement of the numbers.
Therefore, the correct equation that exemplifies the Associative Property of Multiplication is 1 plus (7 plus 8) equals (1 plus 7) plus 8.
