Example Question #1 : Identities And Properties
Identify the property being applied.
Communitive Property of Addition
Associative Inverse Property
Order of Operations
Associative Property of Addition
Additive Property of Addition
Communitive Property of Addition
Correct Answer: Communitive Property of Addition
This property states that any set of terms can be added together in any order to achieve the same solution.
Example Question #1 : Identities And Properties
Which of the following statements demonstrates the commutative property of addition?
None of the examples in the other responses demonstrates the commutative property of addition.
The commutative property of addition states that two numbers can be added in either order to obtain the same sum. Of the given responses, only
demonstrates this property, so it is the correct choice.
Example Question #2 : Identities And Properties
Which of the following best represents the commutative property of addition?
The property is defined as:
Switching the order of the numbers and adding the numbers will yield the same result.
The only answer is:
Example Question #5 : Commutative Property Of Addition
Which of the following choices best represent the commutative property of addition?
Write the rule for the commutative property of addition, letting and
be any number.
Changing the order of these two numbers will not affect the final answer.
The best choice is:
Example Question #1 : Commutative Property Of Multiplication
Which property is illustrated by the example:
Associative property of multiplication
Multiplicative identity property
Commutative property of multiplication
Distributive property
Commutative property of multiplication
The commutative property of mulitplication states that the order in which 2 numbers are multiplied does not affect the result:
Or in this case,
Example Question #2 : Identities And Properties
Use the Commutative Property of Multiplication to write the below expression in a different way.
The rule for Commutative Property of Multiplication is
Using this rule, the expression can be written as
Example Question #2 : Commutative Property Of Multiplication
Which of the following equations correctly shows the commutative property of multiplication?
The commutative property states that factors can be multiplied in any order and the product is always the same. While each of our answer choices are real equations, only one correctly displays this property:
Example Question #1 : Commutative Property Of Multiplication
Evaluate the following expression without using a calculator
This problem could easily turn into some super heavy calculations, but nobody has time for that. Instead, we can make this problem very easy by utilizing the commutative property of multiplication, which in essence says that numbers can be multiplied in any order.
In other words, and
That means that rather multiplying our numbers in their orginal order, which can actually change the order of the numbers without affecting the final product. At this point we should notice that one of our numbers is while another is
. Similarly the fractions
and
are each accompanied by their recripocals
and
respecitively. At this point we must also remember the multiplicative inverse property, which tells us that the product of a number and its reciprocal will always be 1. With that in mind, the strategic way to order the multiplication is as follows:
Doing this pairs each number up with its reciprocal. Finally, we can utlize the associative properpty of multiplication, which tells us that we can multiply any two numbers at a time.
In other words, . This allows us to pair off the multiplication as follows.
Within each parentheses we now have a number multiplied by its reciprocal. Remembering that this always equals 1, we can simplify, giving
Our answer is 1.
Example Question #3 : Commutative Property Of Multiplication
Which answer shows the communitive property of multiplication to the equation below?
The communitive property of multiplication is a property that states that the numbers can be multiplied in any combination. To show which answer is correct simply regroup the numbers in a different or and you will have your answer.
