Answer 1

Option C is correct answer.

Explanation:

We need to find Which expression belongs in the box?

`(3 * 8) * 4= 3 * (------)`

The property applied here is associative property of multiplication.

Associative property of multiplication states that:

`(a * b)* c = a * (b * c)`

So, if we apply the property to our question we have:

a = 3

b = 8

c = 4

So, the expression will become:
`(3 * 8) * 4= 3 * (8 * 4)`

So, the expression that belongs in the box is 8 x 4

Option C is correct answer.
