8+(2+6)=(8+2)+6 what property justifies that statement

Associative Property of Addition

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Associative Property of Addition, when three real numbers are added, it makes no difference which two are added first.

(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

Therefore, 8 + (2 + 6) = (8 + 2) + 6 is an example of the Associative Property of Addition.

8.75

how-to:

first, we need to find what we have to work with.

since i know that we have 7 (years) and 0.8 (inches), we can use these to solve and find the equation!

secondly, what you want to do, is see that we need to know how much growth out of the 0.8 inches he got in only 1 year, instead of 7 years.

let's try to divide.

7 ÷ 0.8 = 8.75
