Which expression uses the associative property to make it easier to evaluate (16- })?
OA. (16 )2
OB. ( 16)
Oc. 16(3)
OD. ( 16)

Option B: (½•16)⅓

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property states that we can add or multiply numbers in a group regardless of how those numbers are grouped. And that we will get the same answer.

For example;

x(y•z) = (x•y)z = (x•z)y

Now in our question, we want o evaluate; ½(16•⅓)

Using the associative property, the best expression will be: (½•16)⅓

It's the best expression because the terms in the bracket are easy to multiply out without remainder.

Thus, option B is correct

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
