Question

Which expression uses the commutative property to make it easier to evaluate

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the given information:

The commutative property states that for addition, the order in which we add numbers does not change their sum & for multiplication, the order in which we multiply does not change their product.

Mathematically expressed as:

$\begin{gathered} x+y+z=y+z+x \\ x\cdot y\cdot z=y\cdot z\cdot x \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the commutative property of this is:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{5}\cdot18=\frac{4}{3}\cdot18\cdot\frac{1}{5} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{4}{3}\cdot18\cdot\frac{1}{5} \\ \end{gathered}$

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer
