sara has 150 red flowers and 300 yellow flowers. She wants to make identical bouquets with the same amount of flowers and the same amount of each color in every bouquet. What is the greatest number of bouquets she can make? How many of each color will be in each bouquet?

The answer would be 2 times 3 plus 8 divided by 8 = 7

This law is sometimes called the grouping property. as you can see, regardless of how the numbers are grouped, the answer is still 13. the associative law of multiplication is similar to the same law for addition. it says that no matter how you group numbers you are multiplying together, you will get the same answer.
