Which expression uses the associative property to make it easier to evaluate 6(1/3•7/5)
O A. (6.1/3)7/5
O B. (6•5/7)1/3
O C. 6(7/5•1/3)
OD 3(1/6•7/5)

A

Step-by-step 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

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

42.4
