We'll call the three consecutive even numbers n, n+2, and n+4.

n + (n+2) + (n+4) = 156
3n + 6 = 156
3n = 150
n = 50

The three numbers are 50, 52, and 54. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

The correct option is commutative property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that Renee is simplifying is:

$(7)\cdot(\frac{13}{29})\cdot(\frac{1}{7})$

It is provided that, Renee recognizes that 7 and $\frac{1}{7}$ are reciprocals, so she would like to find their product before she multiplies by $\frac{13}{29}$ .

The associative property of multiplication states that:

$a\times b\times c=(a\times b)\times c=a\times (b\times c)$

The commutative property of multiplication states that:

$a\times b\times c=a\times c\times b=c\times a\times b$

The distributive property of multiplication states that:

$a\cdot (b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c$

The identity property of multiplication states that:

$a\times 1=a\\b\times 1=b$

So, Renee should use the commutative property of multiplication to find the product of 7 and $\frac{1}{7}$ ,

$(7)\cdot(\frac{13}{29})\cdot(\frac{1}{7})=(7\times\frac{1}{7})\times\frac{13}{29}=\frac{13}{29}$

Thus, the correct option is commutative property.
