Question

12. Verify the associative property for the multiplication of the following
whole numbers :
(i) 3,5,7
(ii) 4, 5,0
(iii) 13, 11, 12
please answer me

Answer 1

Answer:

(i)Using the numbers we entered for a, b, and c, we get:

(3 x 5) x 7 = 3 x (5 x 7)

Evaluating, we get:

(15) x 7 = 3 x (35)

105 = 105

Since 105 = 105, we have proven the Associative Property of Multiplication using the numbers 3, 5, and 7.

(ii)Using the numbers we entered for a, b, and c, we get:

(4 x 5) x 0 = 4 x (5 x 0)

Evaluating, we get:

(20) x 0 = 4 x (0)

0 = 0

Since 0 = 0, we have proven the Associative Property of Multiplication using the numbers 4, 5, and 0.

(iii)Using the numbers we entered for a, b, and c, we get:

(13 x 11) x 12 = 13 x (11 x 12)

Evaluating, we get:

(143) x 12 = 13 x (132)

1716 = 1716

Since 1716 = 1716, we have proven the Associative Property of Multiplication using the numbers 13, 11, and 12.
