Question

verify associative property of multiplication of number of the following 3/2,5/6, 14/23,​

Answer 1

Solution:

Associative property of multiplication => a * (b * c) = (a * b) * c

a = 3/7

b = 5/6

c = 14/23

Verification =>

\frac{3}{7} * ( \frac{5}{6} * \frac{14}{23}) = (\frac{3}{7} * \frac{5}{6}) * \frac{14}{23}73∗(65∗2314)=(73∗65)∗2314

\frac{3}{7} * ( \frac{70}{138}) = (\frac{15}{42}) * \frac{14}{23}73∗(13870)=(4215)∗2314

\frac{210}{966} = \frac{210}{966}966210=966210

This verifies that the three rational numbers 3/7 , 5/6 , 14/23 are following Associative property of multiplication.

Rational Numbers are those numbers which are in the form p/q where p and q needs to be integer and q can't be 0.

Associative Property of Addition => a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c

Distributivity of Rational Numbers => a * (b + c) = ab + ac , a * (b - c) = ab - ac
