Question

Use the associative property of addition to find total of 1,10,18 in two different ways

Answer 1

29

Explanation:

According to the associative property of addition, for any given real numbers, a,b, and c;

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

`1+10+18=(1+10)+18`

`1+10+18=11+18`

`1+10+18=29`

Or;

`1+10+18=1+(10+18)`

`1+10+18=1+28`

`1+10+18=29`
