Which shows the best use of the associative and commutative properties to make simplifying 2.4 + 13 – 5 + 3.6 +7 easier?
O A. (2.4 + 13) + (-5 +3.6 + 7)
O B. (2.4 + (-5) + 13) + (7 + 3.6)
O C. (7+ 2.4 + 13) + [3.6+ (-5)]
O D. (2.4+ 3.6) + [13 +7+(-5)]

D

Step-by-step explanation:

So the associative and commutative properties basically say That you can change the orders of the numbers and the answer won't change (for multiplication and addition).

Your answer would be D because they added the numbers with a decimal place together, it makes it easier to look at, and add in your head.

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
