Question

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

Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The commutative property says that:

`a+b+c=a+c+b`

So, the expression that would be easier to simplify using the commutative property is:

`(1)/(4)+(1)/(2)+(3)/(4)`

Because, if we reorganize, we get:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)+(3)/(4)+(1)/(2) \\ (1+3)/(4)+(1)/(2) \\ (4)/(4)+(1)/(2) \\ 1+(1)/(2) \\ (3)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is D.
