*Get 3 of 4 questions to level up to Familiar*
In this activity, you will explore the associative property of multiplication. The equation provided needs to be completed by finding the missing number that satisfies the associative property.
### Explanation of Graphs and Diagrams
There are no graphs or complex diagrams in this exercise. The main visual provided is a multiplication equation requiring completion. The goal is to understand how grouping numbers in multiplication differently does not change the product, in accordance with the associative property.
For example, in the equation given:
\[ 20 \times 2 = 5 \times \_\_\_ \times 2 \]
You need to determine the missing number that makes the equation true while applying the associative property. This property states that (a × b) × c = a × (b × c), simplifying multiplication tasks while proving the same result despite grouping changes.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6904b009-f96e-4049-93d3-8284df08e1c9%2F6510fa12-0656-43d1-a479-6e601dfd9c9c%2Fae8enb_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
