Question

Verify the associative property of addition of rational numbers using
3/4 , -6/7 and 1/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4} + ( - \frac{6}{7} + \frac{1}{2} ) = (\frac{3}{4} - \frac{6}{7} ) + \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that associative property is

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

so ,

$\frac{3}{4} + ( - \frac{6}{7} + \frac{1}{2} ) = ( \frac{3}{4} - \frac{6}{7} ) + \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{3}{4} + ( \frac{ - 5}{14} ) = \frac{ - 3}{28} + \frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{11}{28} = \frac{11}{28}$

Hence, proved.
