Technically, It's because of the commutative property of addition. If you think about it though, it's just as easy to explain using common sense. If you have $10 and your mom gives you $5, you have $15 total. If on the other hand you have $5 and your mom gives you $10, you have $15 total. See how it doesn't matter what order you add things in?

Is the mean or median a better measure of a typical value?
NO mean: (average)add all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers you added!! Median: you have to put allthe numbers in order and then get the middle number and if there are two middle numbers add them and divide them by two!!

Why is order in which numbers are added does not change the result?
because when you add numbers if you move them around then the quantaty of the numbers is still the same making it add up to the same number
What is the median if the numbers are an even ammount?
first, you would put the numbers in order then, you would add the 2 numbers and divide it by 2
The commutative propetry of addition states that the order of the addens will not affect the?
The order in which we add two numbers does not change the sum.
What math property says that you can add up numbers in any order?
the commutative property

What does order property of aditon mean?
It means that you can add up the numbers in any order, and it doesn't matter, the result will be the same.
Why is it important to find the LCM of 2 numbers?
It will help when you want to add and subtract unlike fractions.
What is the property that guarantees that you can add two numbers in either order called?
The commutative property of addition.
How do you find the median in a group of numbers when you have five numbers?
put them in order and the middle one is the median
Does it matter in what order you add the numbers?
No, addition is commutative (the order does not matter). For example: 5 + 11 = 16 11 + 5 = 16
