Rewrite the expression $(10 \cdot \mathrm{m}) \cdot \mathrm{n}$ by applying the associative property. If the associative property does not apply, state this.
A) $(m \cdot 10) \cdot n$
B) $10 \cdot(\mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{n})$
C) $\mathrm{n} \cdot(10 \cdot \mathrm{m})$
D) Associative property does not apply

The associative property allows you to change the grouping of the operations without changing the result. In this case, $(10 \cdot m) \cdot n$ can be regrouped as $10 \cdot (m \cdot n)$, which is option B.
