Question

Mention the commutativity,

associative and distributive
properties of rational numbers.
Also, check a × b = b xa and a + b =
b + a for a = 12 and b = 34​

Answer 1

Commutative property is the property of numbers where if the order of two numbers is changed the answer will remain the same.

associative property is the property in which if the order of 3 or more numbers is changed the answer will remain the same.

distributive property of multiplication is where, a*(b+c) = a*b + a*c and a*(b-c) = a*b - a*c

i) a*b = b*a

12 * 34 = 34 * 12

408 = 408

ii) a + b = b + a

12 + 34 = 34 + 12

46 = 46
