Question

Which property would be used first to make the following problem easier to work? 2/3 x (3/2 x 5) associative property of multiplication multiplicative property o commutative property of multiplication distributive property​

Answer 1

Answer:

5

can be done by multiplication multiplicative property

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 * (3/2 * 5)

1st = 2/3 * 3/2 * 5

2nd = 2 * 3 * 5

             3 * 2

3rd = 3 * 5

            3

therefore

the answer = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\mathrm{associative \ property \ of \ multiplication}}$

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property of multiplication can be use to make the problem easier to solve.

In associative property of multiplication, when we multiply a bunch of numbers, we can group the numbers in any combination.

$a \times (b \times c) = (a \times b) \times c$

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$
