Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
Associative property states that:
If a,b and c are three elements defined under an operation *
Then, (a*b)*c=a*(b*c)
A. 12 * (17 * 1)
Clearly in the above formula a=12, b=17, c=1 and *=*
12*(17*1)=(12*17)*1
B. 13 + 2 + 7
In the above formula a=13 ,b=2,c=7 and *=+
13+(2+7)=(13+2)+7
C. (15 + 4) + 10
In above formula a=15 ,b=4,c=10 and *=+
(15+4)+10=15+(4+10)
D. (3 / 6) * 10
This cannot be rewritten using the associative property
