Associative Property of Multiplication

The video tutorial explains how to compare two mathematical expressions using the order of operations, known as PEMDAS. It demonstrates evaluating expressions step-by-step and highlights the associative property of multiplication, showing that the grouping of factors does not affect the product. The lesson concludes with an algebraic representation of the associative property.
