Patti is using mental math to evaluate the expression (70 + 12.8 + 30) + 6.1. She recognizes that the expression will be easier to simplify if she can combine 70 and 30 before she works with the other numbers. How do the properties of operations allow Patti to take that approach?
She can use the associative property to rewrite the expression as (70 + 30) + 12.8 + 6.1.

GIVEN :
Patti is using mental math to evaluate the expression (70 + 12.8 + 30) + 6.1
TO FIND :
The properties of operations allow Patti to simplify.
SOLUTION :
Given that Patti is using mental math to evaluate the expression (70 + 12.8 + 30) + 6.1.
Option d) She can use the commutative property to rewrite the expression as (70 + 30 + 12.8) + 6.1 is correct.
For :
Patti's expression is (70 + 12.8 + 30) + 6.1
By using the commutative property of addition
a+b=b+a
(70 + 12.8 + 30) + 6.1
= (70+30+12.8)+6.1 (here a=12.8 and b=30)
∴ the properties of operations allow Patti to take is the commutative property of addition.
