Question

3. Name the property of the multiplication of rational numbers illustrated by the following

Statements and also evaluate them:

-5/16 x 8/15 = 8/15 x -5/16

(7/4 x 8/3) + (7/4 x -13/12) = 7/4 x (-8/3 + -13/12)

(13/-17) x 1 = -13/17

(-11/16) x (16/-11) = 1

Answer 1

Hey,

-5/16 x 8/15 = 8/15 x -5/16=>commutative property

(7/4 x 8/3) + (7/4 x -13/12) = 7/4 x (-8/3 + -13/12)=>distributive property

(13/-17) x 1 = -13/17=>multiplicative identity

(-11/16) x (16/-11) = 1=>multiplicative inverse

HOPE IT HELPS YOU:-))
