Dave wrote the expression 8 x (6 x b) as (8 x 6) x b using the associative property of multiplication.

Using the associative property of multiplication, Dave wrote the expression 8 x (6 x b) as (8 x 6) x b.

The associative property states that when multiplying three or more numbers, the grouping can be changed without changing the product.

In this case, Dave grouped 8 and 6 together first, and then multiplied the result by b.

Answer:

(8 x 6) x b

Step-by-step explanation:

The associate property states yuo can re-associate multiplication and group under the same operation differently. This means Dave wrote (8 x 6) x b.
