To determine which numbers should be grouped in the expression 18.35 + 5 + 11.65, let's evaluate each option:

A. (18.35 + 5) + 11.65

Here, you’re adding 18.35 and 5 first, which equals 23.35, and then adding 11.65.

Calculation: 23.35 + 11.65 = 35.

B. (18.35 + 11.65) + 5

This groups 18.35 and 11.65 first. Adding them gives 30, then adding 5 results in:

Calculation: 30 + 5 = 35.
