Example Questions

Example Question #6 : Understanding The Associative Property

Which is an example of the associative property?

Possible Answers:

and

6+3+2=11 and 6+6=11

6+5=11 and 6=11-5

6+3=9 and 3+6=9

Correct answer:

and

Explanation:

The associative property says that, when you are only adding or only multiplying, the way you group the items in a series does not matter. Given 6 + 3 + 2 = 11, whether you group (6 + 3) + 2 or 6 + (3 + 2), the outcome does not change as the order in which you sum the numbers does not matter.
