Question

Which of the following defines Associative Property? *

a (b + c) = ab + ac

(a × b) × c = a × (b × c)

a + b = b + a

a × 1 = a​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a × b) × c = a × (b × c)

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of operation doesn't matter in 'associative property'

here, associative property of multiplication is given

(a × b) × c = a × (b × c)

Answer 2

(a × b) × c = a × (b × c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

• This property states that when three or more numbers are included (or duplicated), the whole (or the item) is the same notwithstanding of the gathering of the addends (or the multiplicands). Gathering implies the utilize of enclosures or brackets to gather numbers.
• For example, a=1, b=2, c=3 then (1 × 2) × 3 = 1 × (2 × 3). Therefore,    LHS = RHS.
