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?
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!!
I think you are referring to the commutative law for addition : a+b = b+a.
If you simply add numbers the answer is the sum of those numbers.
because you must, in order to do the inverse operation of multiplication you must perform division. division makes the numbers smaller which is very important in certain equations and word problems.
the y-axis and y-axis is important because it makes up the whole grid and it put the numbers in order
explain why it is important to line up decimal numbers by their place value when you add or subtract them
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
The order in which we add two numbers does not change the sum.
Add them up. Any order (the result is always the same)
the commutative property
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!!
It means that you can add up the numbers in any order, and it doesn't matter, the result will be the same.
It will help when you want to add and subtract unlike fractions.
The commutative property of addition.
put them in order and the middle one is the median
No, addition is commutative (the order does not matter). For example: 5 + 11 = 16 11 + 5 = 16
This is true for adding and subtracting ALL numbers, not just decimal representations.
