Question

Which expression would be easier to simplify if you used associative property to change the grouping.
A. 4+(1.2+(-0.2))
B. 85+(120+80)
C. [-40+(60)]+52
D (2+3/7)+4/7
(I'll give brainliest for the correct and most accurate answer.)

Answer 1

Answer:

D. (2 + 3/7) + 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

In B and C, the numbers involved in expressions are integers.

Hence, they can be easily added or subtracted.

In D, the numbers involved in expression are fractions which are not grouped together.

They can be added but by using associative property, it becomes much more easier.

That is, grouping fractions.
