QuestionIdentify the multiplication property shown by $(h \cdot j) \cdot k = h \cdot (j \cdot k)$. Options: identity, associative, zero, commutative.

Studdy Solution
The associative property of multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped when multiplied does not change the product. This is shown in our equation, as the grouping of the variables h, j, and k changes but the product remains the same.
Therefore, the property of multiplication shown in the equation $(h \cdot j) \cdot k=h \cdot(j \cdot k)$ is the associative property.
