Which expression is equivalent to (jk)l?

Answer
A
(j + k) + l
B
j(kl)
C
(2jk)l
D
(j + k)l

Explanation

Multiplication is associative, so changing the grouping does not change the product: (jk)l = j(kl). Choice B, j(kl), is equivalent. The other choices either use addition or change the product by multiplying by an extra 2.
