Question

Use the commutative property to simplify the expression.
1/4+1/3+3/4

Answer 1

Answer: hope this helps ♡

C. ¼ + ¾ + ⅓ = 1 + ⅓ = 1 ⅓

Explanation:

First, add two fractions with the same denominator, so we chose to add ¼ + ¾, which gives you 4/4 and can then be simplified to 1. Then we add the rest: 1 + ⅓ = 1 ⅓

Answer 2

Answer: C

Explanation:

The commutative property states that the order of numbers being added together or multiplied together does not matter or change the outcome. Here, the only answer option that simply changes the order is answer option C, giving us our answer.

This answer reorders the numbers to allow them to clearly see a 1 (
`(1)/(4) +(3)/(4)`) and an extra third, giving them their answer.
