$\frac{2}{3}$+ $\frac{4}{7}$=$\frac{4}{7}$+$\frac{2}{3}$

• A. Additive identity
• B. Commutative property of addition
• C. Commutative property of multipication
• D. Associative property of addition

Answer 1

The correct option is B Commutative property of addition

commutative property of addition states that

(a+b) = (b+a)

Here we have $\frac{2}{3}$+ $\frac{4}{7}$=$\frac{4}{7}$+$\frac{2}{3}$ which is of the form $a+b=b+a$
