Which shows the best use of the associative and commutative properties to make simplifying 2.4 + 13 – 5 + 3.6 +7 easier?
O A. (2.4 + 13) + (-5 +3.6 + 7)
O B. (2.4 + (-5) + 13) + (7 + 3.6)
O C. (7+ 2.4 + 13) + [3.6+ (-5)]
O D. (2.4+ 3.6) + [13 +7+(-5)]

D

Step-by-step explanation:

So the associative and commutative properties basically say That you can change the orders of the numbers and the answer won't change (for multiplication and addition).

Your answer would be D because they added the numbers with a decimal place together, it makes it easier to look at, and add in your head.

gmt is 4 hrs ahead of edt so just add four hours to 1: 14: 20 (minutes and seconds stay the same)

gmt is 5: 14: 20

hope this !
