Question

Is subtraction associative in rational numbers ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Associativity means you can perform an operation regardless of the grouping of numbers to achieve the same result, i.e. e.g. For integers, addition is associative. ... Thus, subtraction over rational numbers is not associative.
