6·(3·5) equals 6· which equals

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the property

The change from $(6\cdot3)\cdot5$ to $6\cdot(3\cdot5)$ uses the associative property of multiplication.

Step2: Evaluate $(6\cdot3)\cdot5$

First, calculate $6\cdot3 = 18$. Then $18\cdot5=90$.

Step3: Evaluate $6\cdot(3\cdot5)$

First, calculate $3\cdot5 = 15$. Then $6\cdot15 = 90$.

Answer:

The expression was rewritten using the associative property of multiplication.
$(6\cdot3)\cdot5$ equals $18\cdot5$ which equals $90$.
$6\cdot(3\cdot5)$ equals $6\cdot15$ which equals $90$.
