Question

What is the definition for associative property of multiplication in your own words and explain how you would use it to compute 4*25*27 mentally.

Answer 1

24x4=100 and multiple 27x100 =2,700

Answer 2

The associative property is switching the parenthesis of an expression to make solving it easier like (a × b)×c= a ×(b×c).
I would do (25×4)×27 because its easily multiplied because 25×4=100 and from then you could easily multiple 27×100.

Hope this helped
