Which is an example of the associative property?

A. -(18.9 + 3.2) = -18.9 + (-32)

B. -17.5 +0 = 17.5

C. (8.4 + 10.3) + (-4.1) = 8.4 + (10.3 + (-4.1))

D. -5.5 + 7.9 = 7.9 + (-5.5)

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Associative property is the property which can be written as


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

So, according to options, we have

(8.4 + 10.3) + (-4.1) = 8.4 + (10.3 + (-4.1))

Here, a = 8.4

b = 10.3

c = -4.1

So, it satisfies the associative property.

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
