Which shows the best use of the associative and commutative properties to make simplifying -1/3-10+7+2/3+5 easier?
A. [5+(-1/3)+(-10)]+(2/3+7)
B. [-1/3+(-10)]+[7+2/3+5]
C. (-1/3+2/3)+[5+7+(-10)]
D. [-1/3+7+(-10)]+(5+2/3)
(I'll give brainliest for correct and accurate answer.)

The commutative property of addition says that it doesn't matter how we add two numbers, the result of the addition would be the same. The correct option is B.

Suppose you've got 3 numbers a, b, and c.

Then, we have

 (a+b) + c = a + (b + c)

This property is called associative property and it is called so because we can associate b with a, or b with c without altering the value of the addition.

The commutative property of addition says that it doesn't matter how we add two numbers, the result of the addition would be the same.

For two numbers x and y, we have:

x + y = y + x

Thus, if we take 3 numbers as a,b and c, then:

a + b + c = b + a + c = b + c + a = a + c + b = c + a + b = c + b + a

And so on for any amount of numbers.

The best use of the associative and commutative properties to make simplifying -1/3-10+7+2/3+5 easier is  [-1/3+(-10)]+[7+2/3+5].

Hence, the correct option is B.

Why are the solutions to the proportions StartFraction 40 over 8 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 10 EndFraction and StartFraction x over 40 EndFraction = StartFraction 10 over 8 EndFraction the same?
Answers
A because both result in the equation 8 x = 400, which simplifies to x = 5
B because both result in the equation 8 x = 400, which simplifies to x = 50
C because both result in the equation 40 x = 80, which simplifies to x = 2
D because both result in the equation 40 x = 80, which simplifies to x = 20

Magdeline wants to know if the number of words on a page in her computer science book is generally more than the number of words on a page in her math book. She takes a random sample of 25 pages in each book and then calculates the mean, median, and mean absolute deviation for the 25 samples of each book.

Book Mean Median Mean Absolute Deviation
Computer science 48.7 40 9.4
Math 34.2 45 1.9


She claims that because the mean number of words on each page in the computer science book is greater than the mean number of words on each page in the math book, the computer science book has more words per page. Based on the data, is this a valid inference? (10 points)
Group of answer choices

Yes, because there is a lot of variability in the computer science book data

Yes, because the mean is larger in the computer science book

No, because the mean is larger in the computer science book

No, because there is a lot of variability in the computer science book data (brainliest if its right)
