RECALL:
The associative property of multiplication states that for any real numbers a, b, and c,
$a[b(c)] = [a(b)](c)$
The give statement does not match with the property (as seen above) because 8 and 5 are in brackets on both sides of the equal sign.
Thus, the given statement is not an example of the associative property of multiplication.
