To group the expression to make it easier to add, we can first combine the whole numbers and the mixed numbers separately before adding them.
Expression: 18 - 9 4/9 + 7/9 - 8
1. Combine the whole numbers:
18 - 8 = 10
2. Combine the mixed numbers:
9 4/9 + 7/9 = 9 + 7/9 = 16/9
Now we have the grouped expression:
10 + 16/9 - 8
By grouping the expression in this way, it becomes easier to add because we have simplified it to only whole numbers and fractions.
How would you group the following expression to make it easier to add?
18−9 4/9+7/9−8

nope
I apologize for the misunderstanding. To group the expression to make it easier to add, we can rearrange the terms and group them according to their types:
Expression: 18 - 9 4/9 + 7/9 - 8
Rearranged expression with grouped terms:
(18 - 8) + (-9 4/9 + 7/9)
Now we have the grouped expression:
10 + (-9 4/9 + 7/9)
By grouping the terms in this way, it becomes easier to add because we have separated the whole number from the mixed number.
Expression: 18 - 9 4/9 + 7/9 - 8
Rearranged expression with grouped terms:
(18 - 8) + (-9 4/9 + 7/9)
Now we have the grouped expression:
10 + (-9 4/9 + 7/9)
By grouping the terms in this way, it becomes easier to add because we have separated the whole number from the mixed number.
once again nope
I apologize for the confusion. To group the expression in a way that makes it easier to add, we can use parentheses to clearly define the different terms:
Expression: 18 - 9 4/9 + 7/9 - 8
Grouped expression using parentheses:
(18) - (9 4/9) + (7/9) - (8)
By using parentheses, we have clearly separated each term in the expression. This makes it easier to add the terms together by focusing on one group at a time.
Expression: 18 - 9 4/9 + 7/9 - 8
Grouped expression using parentheses:
(18) - (9 4/9) + (7/9) - (8)
By using parentheses, we have clearly separated each term in the expression. This makes it easier to add the terms together by focusing on one group at a time.
for the third time no
I apologize for my previous incorrect responses. To group the expression in a way that makes it easier to add, we can regroup the terms based on their similarity:
Expression: 18 - 9 4/9 + 7/9 - 8
Grouped expression based on similarity:
(18 - 8) + (-9 4/9 + 7/9)
Simplified expression:
10 + (-8 + -9 4/9 + 7/9)
By regrouping the terms based on their similarity, we can now add the terms more easily.
Expression: 18 - 9 4/9 + 7/9 - 8
Grouped expression based on similarity:
(18 - 8) + (-9 4/9 + 7/9)
Simplified expression:
10 + (-8 + -9 4/9 + 7/9)
By regrouping the terms based on their similarity, we can now add the terms more easily.
STILL WROONGGG
I apologize for the confusion. Let's try grouping the terms in a different way:
Expression: 18 - 9 4/9 + 7/9 - 8
To group the expression in a way that makes it easier to add, we can first combine the whole numbers and the fractions separately:
18 - 8 + (-9 4/9 + 7/9)
Next, we want to add the fractions:
-9 4/9 + 7/9
To do this, we need to find a common denominator, which in this case is 9:
-9 4/9 + 7/9 = -9 + 7 + 4/9 = -2 + 4/9
Now, let's substitute this result back into the original expression:
18 - 8 + (-2 + 4/9)
Finally, we can add the remaining terms:
18 - 8 - 2 + 4/9 = 8 + 4/9
Therefore, the grouped expression that is easier to add is:
8 + 4/9
