Give an example of the associative property of addition?

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
How can you use the Commutative property to find 5 x 4?
Commutative property means that the numbers can be in any order and give the same amount. So 5 x 4 = 4 x 5. Just switch 'em!
Can you give an example to show that subtraction is not commutative?
5 - 3 = 2 3 - 5 = -2 2 is not the same as -2 so the operation is not commutative.
What is Result of an addition?
The result is called the sum of the two numbers. The operation of addition is commutative. This means that the addition of two numbers will give the same sum regardless of the order in which the numbers are added.
