Answer:

A

Explanation:

Here, we want to select which of the expressions correctly use the associative property

The associative property deals with rearrangement

So for (a + b) + c

we can have (a + c) + b

In the case of this question, the associate property is the one that makes the evaluation easier

Thus;

we need to bring 1/3 and 6 together since 3 is a factor of 6

We have;

(6•1/3)7/5
