To rewrite (7×8)×5using the Associative Property, we focus on changing the grouping of the factors while keeping the same multiplication expression.

The Associative Property of multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not affect the product. It can be expressed as:(a×b)×c=a×(b×c).

Applying the Associative Property: For (7×8)×5, we can regroup it as: 7×(8×5) This maintains the same overall multiplication but changes the grouping.

A. 280 This is the numerical result of the original expression but does not show the associative property.
