verify communicative property of addition for the following pairs of rational numbers.
-2/-5 and 1/3

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student
(-2/-5) +(1/3)
= (2/5)+(1/3)
Taking lcm
Lcm of 5 and 3 is 15
= (6/15)+(5/15)
= (11/15)

Now
(1/3)+(-2/-5)
Taking lcm
Lcm of 3 and 5 is 15
=(5/15)+(6/15)
=(11/15)

Since both answers are same
The commutative property is verified
