Understanding Properties of Rational Numbers

Which property states that the product of two rational numbers is always a rational number?

• Distributive Property

• Commutative Property

• Closure Property

• Associative Property

What does the associative property of multiplication imply for rational numbers?

• The sum of numbers is always rational

• The order of numbers can be changed

• The grouping of numbers can be changed

• The numbers can be distributed

How does the associative property of addition affect the sum of rational numbers?

• The sum is always a fraction

• The sum changes with different groupings

• The sum remains the same regardless of grouping

• The sum is always a whole number

Which property is demonstrated when the order of adding rational numbers is changed but the sum remains the same?

• Distributive Property

• Commutative Property

• Associative Property

• Closure Property

What does the distributive property of multiplication over addition illustrate?

• Multiplication is performed before addition

• The sum of numbers is always rational

• A number outside the brackets is multiplied with each number inside

• Addition is performed before multiplication
