Tell which property allows you to compare 2/3 × [3/4 × 5/7] = [2/3 × 5/7] × 3/4

Solution:

Given2/3 × [3/4 × 5/7] = [2/3 × 5/7] × 3/4

Using associative property, a × (b × c) = (a × c) × b

The associative property helps us in multiplying in any order.

Therefore, associative property allows us to compare2/3 × [3/4 × 5/7] = [2/3 × 5/7] × 3/4

✦ Try This: Tell which property allows you to compare 1/3 × (1/4 × 1/7)=(1/3 × 1/4) × 1/7

Given 1/3 × (1/4 × 1/7) = (1/3 × 1/4) × 1/7

Using associative property, a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c

Therefore, associative property allows us to compare2/3 × (3/4 × 5/7) = (2/3 × 3/4) × 5/7
