OpenStudy (moazzam07):

"(0.65 + 0.40 + 0.35) - 0.10 which property is being used?" I don't see any properties being used... I just see an expression.

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

at what?

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

gtg

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

srry

OpenStudy (freckles):

(0.65 + 0.40 + 0.35) - 0.10 is the right expression you could write this as (0.65+0.40+0.35)+(-0.10) then I guess you could use the associative property like recall (a+b)+c=a+(b+c) so you write it as (0.65+0.40)+(0.35+(-0.10)) and then preform the operations in both ( ) and then add those results to get the final answer

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

ok so 1.30 would be the final answer

OpenStudy (freckles):

.65+.40=1.05 .35-.10=.25 1.05+.25=1.30 or just 1.3 you don't need the extra 0

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

ok thank you again
