Use the Associative property of multiplication for

\$2 times (3 times 4) = (2 times 3) times 4\$

Step 1

Start with the original expression:

\$2 times (3 times 4)\$

Apply the Associative Property of Multiplication by regrouping the numbers.

\$(2 times 3) times 4\$

Explanation:

Here, we write the given expression and applied the associative property of multiplication.

Step 2

Perform the multiplication within the parentheses on both sides and simplify.

⇒ \$2 times 12 = 6 times 4\$

⇒ 24 = 24

Explanation:

Therefore, the Associative property of multiplication for \$2 times (3 times 4)\$ is \$(2 times 3) times 4\$.
