Question

Name the property and also verify it.

1/3×(2×3/8)=(1/3×2)×3/8

​

Answer 1

Name of the property:

Associative property of rational numbers with respect to Multiplication.

Formula:

a/b×(c/d×e/f)=(a/b×c/d)×e/f

Solution:

1/3×(2/1×3/8)=(1/3×2/1)×3/8

1/3×3/4==2/3×3/8

1/4=2/8

1/4=1/4

Hence proved that

Left hand side=Right hand side

1/3×(2×3/8)=(1/3×2)×3/8
