Question

Which expression uses the associative property to make it easier to evalute?

Answer 1

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:

The given expression is :

`14((3)/(2)* (1)/(4))`

We need to use the associative property to make it easier.

The associative property for multiplication is as follows :

`A* (B* C)=(A* B)* C`

We have,

`A=14, B=(3)/(2)\ and\ C=(1)/(4)`

`14((3)/(2)* (1)/(4))=(14* (3)/(2))* (1)/(4)`

Hence, the correct option is (c).
