Which expression would be easier to simplify if you used the commutative property to change the order of the numbers?
A. 1/7 + (-1)+ 2/7
B. - 15+(-25) +43
C. 120+80+(-65)
D. 40+10+(-12)​

Respuesta :

The order of the numbers which satisfies commutative property exists 1/7 + (-1)+ 2/7.

What is meant by commutative property?

The commutative property exists a math rule that states that the order in which we multiply numbers does not change the product. The commutative property uses for addition and multiplication. The property states that phrases can “commute,” or transfer locations, and the outcome will not be affected. This exists described as a + b = b + a for addition, and a × b = b × a for multiplication.

Arranging the order of the numbers the fractions

[tex]${data-answer}amp; \frac{1}{7}+(-1)+\frac{2}{7} \\[/tex]

[tex]$=& \frac{1}{7}+\frac{2}{7}+(-1) \\[/tex]

Simplifying the equation, we get

[tex]$= \frac{1}{7}+(-1) \\[/tex]

[tex]${data-answer}amp;=\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is option A. 1/7 + (-1)+ 2/7
