Option 1 : Commutative and Associative
The commutative property states that the change in the order of two numbers in an addition or multiplication operation does not change the sum or the product.
- a + b = c and also b + a = c in addition
- a x b = c and also b x a = c in multiplication
The associative property states that the sum or the product of three or more numbers does not change if they are grouped in a different way
- (A + B) + C = A + (B + C) in addition
- (a × b) × c = a × (b × c) in multiplication
In the above example while adding 73 + 35 + 27 the student followed (73 + 35) + 27 = (35 + 73) + 27 = 35 + (73 + 27) = 35 + 100 = 135 where he/she followed the commutative and associative properties.
