Question

Which property is shown in this example?

(6.3 + 5.2) + 8.7 = 6.3 + (5.2 + 8.7)
A. Identity Property
B. Commutative Property
C. Associative Property
D. Distributive Property

Answer 1

associative property

Explanation:

identity property is when you multiply one by any number and get the number you multiplied by. for example, 1x3=3; 1x7=7. Commutative property has to do with the order of multiplication being rearranged. and distributive property multiplies a number outside the parentheses into the numbers inside. all that's left is the associative property which indicates that addition can be rearranged and still get the same answer. hope this helps :)
