00:0-1	the problem . Two times parentheses , three times four
00:04	equals parentheses . Two times three times four demonstrates the
00:09	associative property of multiplication . Notice that the factors are
00:14	the same on both sides of the problem . Two
00:17	times three times 4 . However , on the left
00:21	we group the three times four , and on the
00:23	right we group the two times three . The associative
00:27	property of multiplication states that when we multiply more than
00:31	two numbers , the grouping of the factors does not
00:35	change the product . So let's take a look at
00:37	how this problem demonstrates the associative property of multiplication On
00:42	the left side of the problem , the order of
00:45	operations tells us that we must simplify inside the parentheses
00:49	first , so three times four is 12 And two
00:54	times 12 is 24 . And on the right side
00:58	of the problem , we must also simplify inside the
01:01	parentheses first , so two times three is six and
01:05	six times four is 24 So we have 24 equals
01:11	24 . Notice that the product is the same on
01:14	both sides of the problem , even though we grouped
01:17	the factors differently in general terms , the associative property
01:22	of multiplication can be written as A times parentheses ,
01:28	B , times C equals parentheses A times B ,
01:37	times C , where A B and C are variables
01:43	that represent any number .
