Question

Help Jim fill the missing terms using the commutative property of addition.

• A. 54, 32
• B. 32, 54
• C. Both a and b
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both a and b

According to the commutative property of addition, when two or more numbers are added in any order, the sum remains the same.

Given,
25 + 32 + 54 = A + B + 25

Using the commutative property of addition, we can write the L.H.S. as:

25 + 32 + 54 = 32 + 54 + 25 = 54 + 32 + 25 = 111

Here, the values of A and B are 32 and 54 or 54 and 32 respectively.

Therefore, option c is correct.
