Question 6 • Common Core Math 7 A-IC

Which property is demonstrated? 3[5(4)] + 3 = [3(5)]4 + 3

Answer
A
associative property of addition
B
associative property of multiplication
C
commutative property of addition
D
commutative property of multiplication

Explanation

The expression changes from 3[5(4)] to [3(5)]4, which only changes how the factors 3, 5, and 4 are grouped. Their order stays the same, so this demonstrates the associative property of multiplication. The added 3 remains unchanged.
