Question 282050: which statement illustrated the associative property for multiplication
a X 0 = 0
a x 1/a = 1
a x b = b x a

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(a x b) x c = a x (b x c) is your answer,
this is because association means the order of multiplication doesn't matter as long as you do it from left to right. Which is why the parenthesis were moved around.
