Show the Associative Property of Addition using
a = 6, b = 4, c = 3
The associative property means
rearranging the parentheses in an expression
will not change the result
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
Plug in a = 6, b = 4, and c = 3
(6 + 4) + 3 = 6 + (4 + 3)
Evaluating, we get:
(10) + 3 = 6 + (7)
13 = 13
Summary
Since 13 = 13, we have proven the Associative Property of using the numbers 6, 4, and 3
Show the Associative Property of Multiplication using
a = 6, b = 4, c = 3
The associative property means
rearranging the parentheses in an expression
will not change the result
(a * b) * c = a * (b * c)
Plug in a = 6, b = 4, and c = 3
(6 * 4) * 3 = 6 * (4 * 3)
Evaluating, we get:
(24) * 3 = 6 * (12)
72 = 72
Summary
Since 72 = 72, we have proven the Associative Property of using the numbers 6, 4, and 3
Final Answer
13 = 13
72 = 72
72 = 72
13 = 13
72 = 72
