Verify associative and distributive property of multiplication over subtraction between 1/3 ,2/5, - 3/17

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Verify associative and distributive property of multiplication over subtraction between 1/3 ,2/5, - 3/17

• Given 3 rational numbers – 3 / 17, 1/3 , 2/5
• So a = - 3/17, b = 1/3 c = 2/5
• Now distributive property of multiplication over subtraction will be  
• So a(b – c) = ab – ac
• So – 3/17 (1/3 – 2/5) = (-3/17)(1/3) – (-3/17)(2/5)
• So – 3/17 (5 – 6 / 15) = (- 3/51) – (-6/85)
• So – 3/17 (- 1/15) = (-3/51) – (-6 / 85)
• So 3 / 255 = - 15 + 18 / 255
• Or 3/255 = 3/255
• Now for associative property we have  
• (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
• (- 3/17 x 1/3) x 2/5 = - 3/17 x (1/3 x 2/5)
• So – 6 / 255 = - 6 / 255
