According to the order of operations, we must solve the exercise from left to right.
But, this can leave us with awkward or complicated numbers to calculate.
Since the entire exercise is a multiplication, you can use the associative property to reorganize the exercise:
3*5*4=
We will start by calculating the second exercise, so we will mark it with parentheses:
3*(5*4)=
3*(20)=
Now, we can easily solve the rest of the exercise:
3*20=60
60
\( 94+12+6= \)
