Yes. Both the commutative property of addition, and the commutative property of multiplication, works:* For integers
* For rational numbers (i.e., fractions)
* For any real numbers
* For complex numbers

The answer depends not only on the set whose members you are looking at (fractions) but also the operation. Fractions do not obey a commutative property for subtraction (or division, or exponentiation).
Yes, it applies to even multiplication of fractions and rational and irrational numbers.
No, it does not.
Not sure what "would not work" in this case. The corresponding commutative property states that 5x4 is the same as 4x5.
Subtraction, division
it is the commutative property of addition
