Question

show the associative property does not hold true on subtraction. 1) -1/2,3/4,and-5​

Answer 1

Answer:

{ -1/2 - 3/4} -5

{ -2-3/4} - 5

-5/4 - 5

-5-20/4

= -25/4

{ -5 - ( -1/2)} - 3/4

{ -5 + 1/2} - 3/4

{ -10+1/2} - 3/4

-9/2 - 3/4

-18-3/4

-21/4

-25/4≠ -21/4

This implies that associative property does not hold true for subtraction.
