Question

3. Verify commutative property of addition for the following pairs of rational numbe
(6) and 3 (1) 27 and 1/3 (1) 1 and 1 2 3
4. Find the additive inverse of the following rational numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

By using the commutativity law, the addition of rational numbers is commutative ∴ a/b + c/d = c/d + a/b

In order to verify the above property let us consider the given fraction

-11/5 and 4/7 as

-11/5 + 4/7 and 4/7 + -11/5

The denominators are 5 and 7

By taking LCM for 5 and 7 is 35

We rewrite the given fraction in order to get the same denominator

Now, -11/5 = (-11 × 7) / (5 ×7) = -77/35

4/7 = (4 ×5) / (7 ×5) = 20/35

Since the denominators are same we can add them directly

-77/35 + 20/35 = (-77+20)/35 = -57/35

4/7 + -11/5

The denominators are 7 and 5

By taking LCM for 7 and 5 is 35

We rewrite the given fraction in order to get the same denominator

Now, 4/7 = (4 × 5) / (7 ×5) = 20/35

-11/5 = (-11 ×7) / (5 ×7) = -77/35

Since the denominators are same we can add them directly

20/35 + -77/35 = (20 + (-77))/35 = (20-77)/35 = -57/35

∴ -11/5 + 4/7 = 4/7 + -11/5 is satisfied.
