Question

Hector must find the sum of 50 + 83 + 50 by using mental math. Which property allows Hector to simplify the equation to 50 + 50 + 83 and find an equivalent sum?

Answer 1

Answer:

The equivalent sum is $100 + 83$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hector must use the Distributive Property to make calculations quicker:

$50 + 83 + 50$ (Given)

$50 + 50 + 83$ (Conmutative Property)

$50 \times (1+1) + 83$ (Distributive Property)

$50 \times 2 + 83$ (Distributive Property)

$2\times 50 + 83$ (Conmutative Property)

$100 + 83$ (Multiplication)

$183$ (Sum)

The equivalent sum is $100 + 83$.
