Maya wrote the expression 3 + 5 + 4.5 to represent the total distance that she traveled. Which statement best describes Maya’s expression?

Step-by-step explanation:

You can add the numbers in different ways but still get the same answer.

1. 3 + 5 + 4.5 = 12.5

2. 5 + 3 + 4.5 = 12.5

3. 3 + 4.5 + 5 = 12.5

4. 5 + 4.5 + 3 = 12.5

5. 4.5 + 5 + 3 = 12.5

6. 4.5 + 3 + 5 = 12.5

These a couple of different ways you can add the numbers to get the same answer. This shows proof of how the associative property is related and gets you the correct answer no matter how the numbers are positioned.

P.S - You can solve this for different numbers.

Hope this helped,
