How Does The Associative Property Help Find The Sum Of 150+(850+889) Using Mental Math?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The associative property lets you regroup this as
    (150 + 850) + 889

    Using mental math, you immediately recognize that 150+850 = 1000. Now you understand you have
    1000 + 889, which is much easier to add.

    1000 + 889 = 1889
