Explain Why grouping the fractions differently makes it easier to find the sum.
Answer:
Because, Adding 2 fraction makes very tough
so, grouping the fractions differently makes it easier to find the sum.

Example

Use the Commutative Property and the Associative Property.
Texas Go Math Grade 5 Lesson 5.8 Answer Key 2
Answer:

Try This!

Subtraction is not commutative or associative. When you subtract, perform operations in parentheses first. Then subtract from left to right.
a. \(\frac{7}{8}\) – \(\frac{1}{2}\) – \(\frac{1}{8}\) = __________ – \(\frac{1}{8}\) = ____________
Answer:
\(\frac{7}{8}\) – \(\frac{1}{2}\) – \(\frac{1}{8}\) =\(\frac{3}{8}\) – \(\frac{1}{8}\) = \(\frac{2}{8}\)

b. (\(\frac{7}{8}\) – \(\frac{1}{2}\)) – \(\frac{1}{8}\) = ____________ – \(\frac{1}{8}\) = ____________
Answer:
(\(\frac{7}{8}\) – \(\frac{1}{2}\)) – \(\frac{1}{8}\) = ____________ – \(\frac{1}{8}\) = ____________

c. \(\frac{7}{8}\) – (\(\frac{1}{2}\) – \(\frac{1}{8}\)) = \(\frac{3}{8}\) –\(\frac{1}{8}\)= \(\frac{2}{8}\)
Answer:
(\(\frac{7}{8}\) – \(\frac{1}{2}\)) – \(\frac{1}{8}\) = \(\frac{7}{8}\) – \(\frac{1}{8}\) = \(\frac{6}{8}\)

Explain how you can use your answers to conclude that subtraction is not associative.
Answer:
The equation one and two shows that by using associative property addition gives the same answer
but two and three shows that by using associative property subtraction gives the different answer
