Question

(ii) Is (6 ÷ 3) same as (3 ÷ 6)?Justify it by taking few more combinations of whole numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

No (6 ÷ 3) is not same as (3 ÷ 6) because both get different answers. That is 3 and 0.5 respectively. 0.5 cannot be categorised under whole numbers (wn).

Example i) : (12 ÷ 4) and (4 ÷ 12)

= 3 and 0.333333333 (not wn)

ii) (24 ÷ 12) and (12 ÷ 24)

= 2 and 0.5 (not wn)
