Question

Verify associative property for addition ,i.e., x+(y+z)=(x+y)+z, when
a) x=1/4, y=2/3 and z=5/12
b) x=2/3, y=5/12 and z=5/6
c) x=1/5, y=2/3 and z=7/15
d) x=2/3, y=5/7 and z=5/6​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. x+(y+z) = (x+y)+z

1/4+(2/3+5/12)=(1/4+2/3)+5/12

1/4+(13/12)=( 11/12)+5/12

16/12=16/12

4/3=4/3
