Question

varify associatively of addition of rational numbers that is ( a +b) +c = a+( b+ c) when. a=0 , b = 1/3 , c = -5/ 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

Verified

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: substitute all the values separately for RHS and LHS.

First, LHS.

(0+(1/3))+(-5/8)

(1/3)-(5/8)

(8/24)-(15/24)

(-7/24) - - - - - - - > LHS

Now, RHS.

0+((1/3)+(-5/8))

(1/3)-(5/8)

(8/24)-(15/24)

(-7/24) - - - - - - - - > RHS

As LHS=RHS

Associative property is verified!
