Answer:
Commutative and Associative laws not hold in rational numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since every integer is the rational number so we take two integer 2 and 3 which are also rational number with denominator 1
And
2 / 3 = 0.0666.....
3 / 2 = 1.5
so
2 / 3 ≠ 3 /2
Thus commutative law of division in rational number is not hold.
Now
Take 2 , 3 and 4 rational numbers with denominator 1
Then
2 / ( 3 / 4 ) = 2 / ( 0.75 ) = 2 / 0.75 = 2.6666....
( 2 / 3 ) / 4 = ( 0.6666.... ) / 4 = 0.1666.....
So
2 / ( 3 / 4 ) ≠ ( 2 / 3 ) / 4
Thus associative law of division is not hold in rational numbers.
