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.
Example Question #2461 : Operations
Write 12 down. Then write the 3 below the 2 in 12.
Multiply the bottom number with the top numbers, starting on the right:
The answer is 36.
Example Question #2462 : Operations
Fill in the blank to make a true statement:
______________
By the order of operations, multiplication comes before addition.
Example Question #2463 : Operations
Find the product of 14 and 3.
To find the product, we need to multiply.
Another way to solve is to add up three groups of 14.
Example Question #2464 : Operations
Sally ate three sandwiches each day from Monday to Friday. How many sandwiches did she eat in all?
Every day Sally eats 3 sandwiches, so we will multiply 3 by the number of days.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday is five days.
Another way to solve is to add the number of sandwiches each day for five days.
Example Question #5 : How To Multiply
Find the missing number in the series.
The series is increasing, and shows the sequence of of perfect squares. Each term is equal to a number times itself.
This missing number will be equal to five times five.
Example Question #2465 : Operations
If Greg eats 4 apples a day, how many apples will he have eaten in one week (7 days)?
You multiply the number of apples he eats a day by the number of days. So it is
apples.
Example Question #2466 : Operations

Example Question #2467 : Operations
If Carol has to drive 60mph for 4 hours to reach her friend's house, how far is her friend's house?
so
Example Question #8 : How To Multiply
place the following in order from greatest to least:
is negative, so will be smaller than and .
is a decimal, so it will have greater magnitude than (which will make it smaller, since they are both negative).
is a decimal so will have greater magnitude than (which will make it greater, since they are both positive).
