Question

$3\times5\times4=$

00:00 Solve

00:03 We'll use the commutative law and solve this multiplication first

00:09 We'll continue solving as usual

00:12 And this is the solution to the question

According to the order of operations, we must solve the exercise from left to right.

But, this can leave us with awkward or complicated numbers to calculate.

Since the entire exercise is a multiplication, you can use the associative property to reorganize the exercise:

3*5*4=

We will start by calculating the second exercise, so we will mark it with parentheses:

3*(5*4)=

3*(20)=

Now, we can easily solve the rest of the exercise:

3*20=60
