There are 52 cards in a deck of playing cards and there are 12 cards that are kings, queens, or jacks. What percent of a deck is a king, queen, or jack?

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.
