Question

Verify the associative property addition for the following rational number
-2/3‚5/4‚7/12

Answer 1

Answer:

14/12 = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

how let's see in the associative property

a+(b+c)= (a+b) + c

so, -2/3 +(5/4+7/12)= (-2/3+5/4)+7/12

-2/3+(15+7/12) = (-8+15/12) +7/12

-2/3+22/12 = 7/12+7/12

lcm of 3 and 12 = 12

-8+22/12 =14/12

14/12=14/12

RHS =LHS
