Sagot :

The correct option is (d)

He wrote commutative instead of associative in step 2.

What is the commutative property?

According to the commutative property, a mathematical principle, the product of a multiplication does not depend on the order in which the numbers are multiplied.

Commutative property:  a+b = b+a

Associative property: (a+b) + = a+(b+c)

Now consider the provided expression.

(6.2 − 1.6) − 4.4 + 7.8

Step 1:

(6.2 − 1.6) − 4.4 + 7.8

Step 2 Use Associative property

6.2 + (−1.6 − 4.4) + 7.8

Step 3: Simplify

6.2 − 6 + 7.8

Step 4: Use commutative property

14 − 6

Step 5: Simplify

14 − 6 = 8

Hence, the wrong step is step 2.

He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.
