Q. Which property of multiplication is shown?\newline3×(2×5)=(3×2)×53 \times (2 \times 5) = (3 \times 2) \times 5\newlineChoices:\newline(A) commutative\newline(B) associative
  1. Identify Structure: Identify the structure of the equation.\newlineThe equation shows a number multiplied by a grouped multiplication on both sides, but the grouping is changed.
  2. Recognize Property: Recognize the property.\newlineThe equation 3×(2×5)=(3×2)×53 \times (2 \times 5) = (3 \times 2) \times 5 rearranges the parentheses without changing the result, which is a key characteristic of the associative property of multiplication.
