Detailed Solution

The associative property is applicable to several mathematical operations, including addition and multiplication.

As per the associative property: 

If A, B, and C are rational numbers then 

The rule for the associative property of addition: A+(B+C)=(A+B)+C

The rule for the associative property of multiplication is: A×(B×C)=(A×B)×C

However,  subtraction and division are not associative. That is, (A - B) - C ≠ A - (B - C) and (A ÷ B) ÷ C ≠ A ÷ (B ÷ C).
