Which expression uses the associative property to make it easier to evaluate? (50points)

Naily [24]

The correct answer is option 4: $(8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

$8.(\frac{1}{4}.\frac{3}{5})$

The associative property states that for any three terms that are being multiplied, different order of multiplication (i.e. which two terms are multiplied first) will give the same answer.

Let a,b and c be the three terms

then

$a.(b.c) = (a.b).c$

So applying the associative property on given expression

$8.(\frac{1}{4}.\frac{3}{5}) = (8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}$

Hence,

The correct answer is option 4: $(8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}$

so

3434 cups of sugar x 4 (parts of water per 1 part of sugar) = 13736

She will need to use 13, 736 parts of water for 3, 434 parts of sugar
