Properties of Operations

What is the Associative Property of Addition?

• The Associative Property of Addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped when adding does not change the sum. For example, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).

• The Associative Property of Addition states that the sum of two numbers is always the same regardless of the order in which they are added.

• The Associative Property of Addition states that adding zero to any number does not change the number.

• The Associative Property of Addition states that the sum of three numbers is equal to the product of those numbers.

What is the Commutative Property of Addition?

• The Commutative Property of Addition states that changing the order of the numbers being added does not change the sum.

• The Commutative Property of Addition states that the sum of two numbers is always greater than either number.

• The Commutative Property of Addition states that the sum of two numbers is always equal to the product of those numbers.

• The Commutative Property of Addition states that addition is only possible with whole numbers.

What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

• The Identity Property of Multiplication states that multiplying any number by zero results in zero.

• The Identity Property of Multiplication states that multiplying any number by one does not change the number. For example, a × 1 = a.

• The Identity Property of Multiplication states that multiplying any number by itself results in the same number.

• The Identity Property of Multiplication states that multiplying any number by two results in double the number.

What is the result of 5 * 0?

• 0

• 5

• 10

• -5

What is the Multiplicative Inverse Property?

• A number multiplied by its reciprocal equals zero.

• A number multiplied by its reciprocal equals one.

• A number multiplied by itself equals one.

• A number multiplied by its reciprocal equals the number.

What is the Multiplicative Property of Zero?

• Multiplying any number by one results in that number.

• Multiplying any number by zero results in zero.

• Multiplying any number by itself results in the square of that number.

• Multiplying any number by two results in double that number.

What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

• The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the numbers being multiplied does not change the product.

• The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that the product of two numbers is always greater than either number.

• The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that multiplication can only be performed on whole numbers.

• The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that the product of two numbers is the same as their sum.

What is an example of the Distributive Property?

• 3(4 + 5) = 3×4 + 3×5

• 2(3 + 7) = 2×3 + 2×7

• 5(1 + 2) = 5 + 5×2

• 6(2 + 3) = 6×2 + 3

What is the result of 9 + (2 + 4)?

• 15

• 14

• 16

• 13

What is the Distributive Property?

• The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a number by a sum by distributing the multiplication.

• The Distributive Property states that a + b = ab. It allows you to add two numbers together.

• The Distributive Property states that a(b - c) = ab - ac. It allows you to multiply a number by a difference by distributing the multiplication.

• The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = a + b + c. It allows you to add a number to a sum.
