Question

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

Answer 1

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