Is the pattern the same above if the multiplication sign is replaced by an adittion or subtraction sign?

No, there is no pattern above.


How do you tell whether you multiply or divide?

If the numbers are separated by a multiplication symbol ( X ) then you multiply. If they are separated by a division symbol ( / or a short horizontal line with a dot above and a dot below), Then you divide.


How do you do diffrenciate commutative and associative?

Commutatitive property: a + b = b + a Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) Although illustrated above for addition, it also applies to multiplication. But not subtraction or division!


Why doesn't the distributive property always work for division?

The distributive property works is defined for multiplication and addition: a (b + c) = ab + ac also: (a + b)c = ac + bc For a division, it works if you can convert it into a multiplication, in a form similar to the above. For example: (10 + 2) / 2 can be converted into a multiplication; in this case, dividing by 2 is equivalent to multiplying by 1/2: (10 + 2) (1/2) = (10 x 1/2) + (2 x 1/2) If the sum is in the divisor, for example: 15 / (1 + 2) then there is no way you can convert it into an equivalent multiplication, which conforms to the forms used for the distributive property.


How do you divide numbers in three different ways?

You can indicate division in 3 different ways: (hard to show in the WikiAnswers browser) - with a division sign (a hyphen with a dot above and a dot below) - as a fraction: 3/8 (but on paper the bar would be horizontal) - as multiplication by a reciprocal: 3 x (1/8) (If this doesn't answer your question, please reword it and resubmit it.)

How come you change a division sign into a multiplication sign for dividing fractions?

Flip the fraction around (the one after the division sign) and change it to a multiplication sign. (swap the numerator with the denominator) so 2/(3/10) = 2*(10/3) The reason you do so is if you think of multiplication and dividing revolving around the number 1, in multiplying if you are above 1 then you are increasing if you are lower you are increasing. The opposite is the same of division. Effectively, if you think about it multiplication is the inverse of division and the other way around as well, so by flipping the fraction you are inverting it, so instead of dividing by 0.5 you multiply by 2. I hope this makes sense, it could be shown algebraically, but it is probably easier to understand this way.

Is there distributive for division over addition?

For example, (10 + 2) / 2 = (10 / 2) + (2 / 2). This works if the added terms are on the left side of the division side (or the numerator of a fraction). Consider the distribution of multiplication over addition to be the fundamental rule; if you convert the division above to a multiplication, and later you convert the multiplication back to a division, it should be clear why the distributive property works in this case: (10 + 2) / 2 = (10 + 2) x (1/2) = (10 x 1/2) + (2 x 1/2) = (10 / 2) + (2 / 2) Please note that it does NOT work the other way round, that is, if the added terms are on the right of the division sign (denominator of a fraction).


Give an example showing that the commutative property does not hold for division of whole numbers?

Here is an example: 4/2 = 2 Commutative property is when you can move numbers around in a problem, and it wouldn't change. This is why it doesn't work in division 2/4 = 1/2 The commutative property applies to only addition and multiplication. It does not apply to division or subtraction. More examples: Addition: 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 = 5 Subtraction: 2 - 3 = -1, 3 - 2 = 1 Division: (see above) Multiplication: 3(5) = 5(3) = 15
