Question

13/40+2/5+19/40 would best be solved by associative or distributive propert?

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 13 }{ 40 } + \frac{ 2 }{ 5 } + \frac{ 19 }{ 40 }\]
The associative property has to do with addition. It says x + y = y + x
The distributive property has to do with multiplicaton. It says x(y + z) = xy + xz

Answer 2

associative, because you are adding, distributive would be used if you had something to distribute EX: 4(2x + 9)
