Question

1. Verify commutative property for addition of rational numbers for the following pairs
of rational numbers.
(a) -1/3 and 7/6​

Answer 1

Answer:

Commutative property over addition sates that a+b = b+a , or they can be added in any order and the result would be same.

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/3 + 7/6​ and 7/6 + -1/3

Here we go,

-1/3 + 7/6 = (-2+7)/6 = 5/6

7/6 + -1/3 = (7-2)/6 = 5/6

We see here that the result is same

or,  5/6 = 5/6

Thus, -1/3 + 7/6​ a= 7/6 + -1/3

Commutative property is applicable on integers for addition.
