00:0-1 | the problem . Two times parentheses , three times four | |
00:04 | equals parentheses . Two times three times four demonstrates the | |
00:09 | associative property of multiplication . Notice that the factors are | |
00:14 | the same on both sides of the problem . Two | |
00:17 | times three times 4 . However , on the left | |
00:21 | we group the three times four , and on the | |
00:23 | right we group the two times three . The associative | |
00:27 | property of multiplication states that when we multiply more than | |
00:31 | two numbers , the grouping of the factors does not | |
00:35 | change the product . So let's take a look at | |
00:37 | how this problem demonstrates the associative property of multiplication On | |
00:42 | the left side of the problem , the order of | |
00:45 | operations tells us that we must simplify inside the parentheses | |
00:49 | first , so three times four is 12 And two | |
00:54 | times 12 is 24 . And on the right side | |
00:58 | of the problem , we must also simplify inside the | |
01:01 | parentheses first , so two times three is six and | |
01:05 | six times four is 24 So we have 24 equals | |
01:11 | 24 . Notice that the product is the same on | |
01:14 | both sides of the problem , even though we grouped | |
01:17 | the factors differently in general terms , the associative property | |
01:22 | of multiplication can be written as A times parentheses , | |
01:28 | B , times C equals parentheses A times B , | |
01:37 | times C , where A B and C are variables | |
01:43 | that represent any number . |
