Q. Which property of multiplication is shown?(8×9)×1=8×(9×1)Choices:(A)associative(B)commutative
Identify Structure: Step 1: Identify the structure of the equation.The equation \(8 \times 9) \times 1 = 8 \times (9 \times 1)\ shows a rearrangement of parentheses without changing the order of the numbers.
Recognize Property: Step 2: Recognize the property of multiplication.The associative property allows us to change the grouping of the numbers being multiplied without changing the product. This property is shown here as the multiplication grouping changes from (8×9) first to (9×1) first, but the numbers 8, 9, and 1 remain in the same order.
