(01.02 HC)Morris is showing his work in simplifying (−6.7 + 4.3) − 1.2. Step 1: (4.3 − 6.7) − 1.2 Step 2: 4.3 − (6.7 + 1.2) Step 3: 4.3 − (7.9) Step 4: −3.6

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Morris is showing his work in simplifying,

(-6.7 + 4.3) - 1.2

Step 1: (4.3 - 6.7) - 1.2

Step 2: 4.3 - (6.7 + 1.2)

Step 3: 4.3 - 7.9

Step 4: -3.6

Which statement is true ?

A). Step 1, Morris used the commutative property.

B). Step 2, Morris used the distributive property.

C). Step 3, Morris used the associative property.

D). Step 4, Morris's answer is incorrect.

In associative property,

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

By this property,

(-6.7 + 4.3) - 1.2

Step 1, (-6.7 + 4.3) - 1.2 = (4.3 - 6.7) - 1.2

Step 2, (4.3 - 6.7) - 1.2 = 4.3 - (6.7 + 1.2) [Use of associative property]

Step 3, 4.3 - 7.9

Step 4, -3.6
