Properties of Rational Numbers
The major properties of rational numbers are:
Closure Property
Commutativity Property
Associative Property
Distributive Property
Let us now study these properties in detail.
Step-by-step explanation:
Addition of Rational Numbers
The closure property states that for any two rational numbers a and b, a + b is also a rational number.
The result is a rational number. So we say that rational numbers are closed under addition.
2) Subtraction of Rational Numbers
The closure property states that for any two rational numbers a and b, a – b is also a rational number.
The result is a rational number. So the rational numbers are closed under subtraction.
3) Multiplication of Rational Numbers
The closure property states that for any two rational numbers a and b, a × b is also a rational number.
The result is a rational number. So rational numbers are closed under multiplication.
4) Division of Rational Numbers
The closure property states that for any two rational numbers a and b, a ÷ b is also a rational number.
The result is a rational number. But we know that any rational number a, a ÷ 0 is not defined. So rational numbers are not closed under division. But if we exclude 0, then all the rational numbers are closed under division.
Commutative Property
1. Addition
For any two rational numbers a and b, a + b = b+ a
We see that the two rational numbers can be added in any order. So addition is commutative for rational numbers.
2. Subtraction
For any two rational numbers a and b, a – b ≠ b –
So subtraction is not commutative for ratioanl numbers.
3. Multiplication
For any two rational numbers a and b, a × b = b × a
We see that the two ratrional numbers can be multiplied in any order. So multiplication is commutative for ratioanl numbers.
4. Division
For any two rational numbers a and b, a ÷ b ≠ b
We see that the expressions on both the sides are not equal. So divsion is not commutative for ratioanal numbers.
Associative Property
Take any three rational numbers a, b and c. Firstly add a and b and then add c to the sum. (a + b) + c. Now again add b and c and then a to the sum, a + (b + c). Is (a + b) + c and a + (b + c) same? Yes and this is how associative property works. It states that you can add or multiply numbers regardless of how they are grouped
Addition and multiplication are associative for rational numbers.
Subtraction and division are not associative for rational numbers.
Distributive Property
Distributive property states that for any three numbers x, y and z we have
x × ( y + z ) = (x × y) +( x × z)

Answer:
the ans is as follows
Igneous rocks are created from the cooling of molten magma/lava. All other rocks are derived from them. Because they form the basis of formation of other types of rocks, igneous rocks are known as the primary rocks.
