Answer

Find out the total number of minutes they played using associative property.

To proof

Associative property of addition

This property states that

a + ( b + c) = ( a +b) +c

Where a, b, c are the any numbers.

As given

Sophia Played for 18 minutes and 26 minutes last week should play the piano for 40 minutes last week

let

a = 18 minutes , b = 26 minutes , c = 40 minutes

Total number of minutes sophia played = a + ( b + c) = ( a +b) +c

put the value of a, b,c

Total number of minutes sophia played =18+(26 +40) = (18 +26) + 40

= 18 +66 = 44 + 40

= 84 = 84

satisfy the associative property

Therefore the total number of minutes sophia played be 84 mintues.

Hence proved
