Question

Which expression would be easier to simplify if you used the associative property to change the grouping?

A. (60+40) + (-27)
B. (2+ ş) +(-3)
C. [(-0.2)+(-0.6)] +1.7
D. 6+ [+(-3)]

Answer 1

The expression that would be easier to simplify using the associative property to change the grouping is (60+40) + (-27).

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the given options, the expression that would be easier to simplify using the associative property to change the grouping is option A: (60+40) + (-27). In this expression, we can group the numbers 60 and 40 together using the associative property before adding -27 to the sum. This makes it easier to perform the addition.
