Yes, it does.
Commutative property: a + b = b + a; example: 4 + 3 = 3 + 4 Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c); example: (1 + 2) + 3 = 1 + (2 + 3) Closure property: The sum of two numbers of certain sets is again a number of the set. All of the above apply similarly to addition of fractions, addition of real numbers, and multiplication of whole numbers, fractions, or real numbers.
No!!
There is no commutative property of division. Commutative means to exchange places of numbers. If you exchange the place of numbers in a division problem, you would affect the answer. So, commutative property applies only to addition or multiplication.Not really; for example, 2/1 = 2, and 1/2 = 0.5. However, you can convert any division into a multiplication, and apply the commutative property of multiplication. For example, 6 / 3 = 6 x (1/2), which is the same as (1/2) x 6.
The usual rules of addition of fractions apply.
