For Commutative Property of Addition

Let us take a decimal number [tex]2.14[/tex] and a fraction [tex]\frac{5}{20}[/tex]

Now, according to the Commutative property of Addition:

For any two numbers [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] :

[tex]a+b = b+a[/tex]

So, for [tex]2.14[/tex] and [tex]\frac{5}{20}[/tex]

Let us add

[tex]2.14+\frac{5}{20}  = \frac{214}{100}  +\frac{5}{20}[/tex]

                                   [tex]=\frac{214}{100}  + \frac{5 \times 5}{20 \times 5} \\ \\=\frac{214}{100}  + \frac{25}{100} \\ \\= 2.14 + 0.25 \\ \\ = 2.39[/tex]

Also,

[tex]\frac{5}{20} + 2.14  = \frac{5}{20} + \frac{214}{100}[/tex]

                                     [tex]= \frac{5 \times 5}{20 \times 5} +\frac{214}{100} \\ \\= \frac{25}{100}  + \frac{214}{100} \\ \\=  0.25 + 2.14 \\ \\ = 2.39[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]2.14+\frac{5}{20} = \frac{5}{20} + 2.14[/tex]

Hence,  Commutative Property of Addition is satisfied.


For Associated Property of Addition

Let us take two same decimal numbers [tex]2.14[/tex] , [tex]7.25[/tex] and a fraction [tex]\frac{5}{20}[/tex]

Now, according to the Associated property of Addition:

For any three numbers [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex]  and  [tex]c[/tex]

[tex]a + (b+c) =(a+b) + c[/tex]

So, for [tex]2.14[/tex] , [tex]7.25[/tex] and [tex]\frac{5}{20}[/tex]

The Left hand side:

[tex]a + (b+c) [/tex]

[tex]2.14 + (7.25 + \frac{5}{20}) = 2.14 + (\frac{725}{100} + \frac{5 \times 5}{20\times 5})[/tex]

                                                         [tex]= 2.14 + (\frac{725}{100} + \frac{25 }{100})[/tex]

                                                         [tex]= 2.14 + (\frac{750}{100} )[/tex]

                                                        [tex]= \frac{214}{100} + \frac{750}{100}[/tex]

                                                         [tex]= \frac{964}{100}[/tex]

                                                        [tex]=9.64[/tex]


The Right hand side:

[tex](a + b )+c[/tex]

[tex](2.14 + 7.25 )+ \frac{5}{20}= ( 9.39 ) + \frac{5 }{20}[/tex]

                                                [tex]= 9.39  + \frac{5 \times 5 }{20 \times 5}[/tex]

                                                [tex]= 9.39  + \frac{25}{100}[/tex]

                                                [tex]= 9.39  + 0.25[/tex]

                                                [tex]= 9.64[/tex]


Thus,

[tex](2.14 + (7.25 + \frac{5}{20} )= (2.14 + 7.25 )+ \frac{5}{20}[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]2.14+\frac{5}{20} = \frac{5}{20} + 2.14[/tex]

Hence,  Associative Property of Addition is satisfied.
