Respuesta :

Answer: A. [5 * (3 * 12)]

Step-by-step explanation:

     The associative property states that "the way in which factors are grouped in a multiplication problem does not change the product" (Oxford Languages).

     Using this definition, we can see the only option that correctly uses the associate property is option A.

[5 * (3 * 12)]
