Question

check whether the following rational numbers satisfy associative property under addition a=3/2 b=-2/4 & c=1/2​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, a = 3/2

b = -2/4

c = 1/2

Formulae of Associative Property :

(a + b) + c = a + ( b + c )

placing the values of a, b, and c.

$\frac{3}{2} + ( \frac{ - 2}{4} ) + \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{3 \times 2 - 2 + 2 \times 1}{4}$

$\frac{6 - 2 + 2}{4}$

$\frac{6 - 4}{4}$

$\frac{2}{4}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

your answer is 1/2.
