Apply the associative property of multiplication.
-$- \frac { 5 } { 11 } \left( - \frac { 11 } { 5 } p \right)$
A) $p$
B) $- 55 p$
C) $6 p$
D) $- 5 p$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The associative property of multiplication allows us to change the grouping of the factors without changing the product. Here, multiplying $-\frac{5}{11}$ by $-\frac{11}{5}$ gives 1, and multiplying that by $p$ gives $p$.

Apply the Associative Property of Multiplication −511(−115p)- \frac { 5 } { 11 } \left( - \frac { 11 } { 5 } p \right)−115​(−511​p)

Apply the Associative Property of Multiplication $- \frac { 5 } { 11 } \left( - \frac { 11 } { 5 } p \right)$
