Final answer:
By utilizing the commutative property, we rearrange the terms in the expression -6/5 x 11 x 5/3 to -6/5 x 5/3 x 11, which simplifies to -6/1 x 1/3 x 11, resulting in the easier product of -22.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which expression uses the commutative property to make it easier to evaluate -6/5 x 11 x 5/3. The commutative property of multiplication states that numbers can be multiplied in any order without changing the result. By rearranging the terms, the calculation can be simplified.
To make the expression easier to evaluate, you can rearrange the numbers to group -6/5 and 5/3 together because the 5s in the numerator and denominator will cancel each other out:
After canceling out the 5s:
- -6/1 x 1/3 x 11 = -2 x 11 = -22
This rearrangement makes it easier to see that the product will be -22.
