Question

Each week Julie spends 5 hours reading, 6 hours watching television, and 4 hours playing outside.Use the Associative Property of Addition to write two equivalent expressions that show the totalnumber of hours Julie spends reading, watching television, and playing outside.Choose the correct answer below.

Answer 1

Hours spent on reading = 5

Hours spent on watching tv= 6

Hours spent on playing outside = 4

let R represent hours spent on reading

let W represent hours on watching tv

let P represent hours spent playing outside

Using associative property

R + (W + P) = (R + W ) + P

=>

5 + (6 + 4) = (5 + 6) + 4Ho
