Wwhich expression uses the associative property to make it easier to evaluate 8(1/2x1/3)?

A.8/3(2x33)
B.(8x1/2)1/3.
C.8(1/3x1/2)
D.(8x1/3)1/2​

Answer 1

Explanation:

8 * [(1/2) * (1/3)]

= [8 * (1/2)] * (1/3)

= 4 * (1/3)

= 4/3.

The answer is B because it is easier to calculate 8 * (1/2), which is dividing 8 by 2 to get 4.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be B. (8×1/2)1/3.
