Question

Which expression uses the associative property to make it easier to evalute?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

$14(\dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{4})$

We need to use the associative property to make it easier.

The associative property for multiplication is as follows :

$A\times (B\times C)=(A\times B)\times C$

We have,

$A=14, B=\dfrac{3}{2}\ and\ C=\dfrac{1}{4}$

$14(\dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{4})=(14\times \dfrac{3}{2})\times \dfrac{1}{4}$

Hence, the correct option is (c).
