Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Understanding The Commutative Property

Which is an example of commutative property?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 10+3=7\) and \(\displaystyle 3+10=7\)

\(\displaystyle 7+3+3=13\) and \(\displaystyle 10+3=13\)

\(\displaystyle 7+3=10\) and \(\displaystyle 3+7=10\)

 

\(\displaystyle 7+3+3=13\) and \(\displaystyle 7+9=13\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 7+3=10\) and \(\displaystyle 3+7=10\)

 

Explanation:

The commutative property says that you can add the numbers in any order and still get the same answer \(\displaystyle 7+3\) and\(\displaystyle 3+7\) both equal \(\displaystyle 10\)

Example Question #2 : Understanding The Commutative Property

\(\displaystyle 6+8+4=18\) and \(\displaystyle 12+6=18\)

\(\displaystyle 14+6=8\) and \(\displaystyle 6+14=8\)

\(\displaystyle 6+8=14\) and \(\displaystyle 8+6=14\)

     

\(\displaystyle 6+8+4=18\) and \(\displaystyle 10+8=18\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 6+8=14\) and \(\displaystyle 8+6=14\)

     

Explanation:

The commutative property says that you can add the numbers in any order and still get the same answer \(\displaystyle 6+8\) and \(\displaystyle 8+6\) both equal \(\displaystyle 14\)

Example Question #3 : Understanding The Commutative Property

Which is an example of commutative property?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 4+9+1=14\) and \(\displaystyle 5+9=14\)

\(\displaystyle 4+9=13\) and \(\displaystyle 9+4=13\)

   

\(\displaystyle 4+9+1=14\) and \(\displaystyle 10+4=14\)

\(\displaystyle 13+4=9\) and \(\displaystyle 4+13=9\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 4+9=13\) and \(\displaystyle 9+4=13\)

   

Explanation:

The commutative property says that you can add the numbers in any order and still get the same answer \(\displaystyle 4+9\) and \(\displaystyle 9+4\) both equal \(\displaystyle 13\).  

Example Question #2 : Understanding The Commutative Property

\(\displaystyle 9+7+3=19\) and \(\displaystyle 16+3=19\)

 \(\displaystyle 9+7=16\) and \(\displaystyle 7+9=16\)

 

\(\displaystyle 16+7=9\) and \(\displaystyle 7+16=9\)

\(\displaystyle 9+7+3=19\) and \(\displaystyle 9+10=19\)

Correct answer:

 \(\displaystyle 9+7=16\) and \(\displaystyle 7+9=16\)

 

Explanation:

The commutative property says that you can add the numbers in any order and still get the same answer. \(\displaystyle 9+7\) and \(\displaystyle 7+9\) both equal \(\displaystyle 16\)

Example Question #5 : Understanding The Commutative Property
