Which expression uses the associative property to make it easier to evaluate 8(3)? O A. 80 ) O 8 B. (8-5) O c. (2-3) OD. (8) 2

The associative property tells us that a product of three numbers written as:
[tex]a\cdot(b\cdot c)[/tex]Is the same as if we multiply them in the order:
[tex](a\cdot b)\cdot c[/tex]So, applying this property to:
[tex]8\cdot(\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{3})[/tex]We will get:
[tex](8\cdot\frac{1}{2})\cdot\frac{1}{3}[/tex]Therefore, the answer is option B.
