Glad I can help you!!

Answer:

Definition: The associative property states that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped. By 'grouped' we mean 'how you use parenthesis'. In other words, if you are adding or multiplying it does not matter where you put the parenthesis.

The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around", so the Commutative Property is the one that refers to moving stuff around. For addition, the rule is "a + b = b + a"; in numbers, this means 2 + 3 = 3 + 2. For multiplication, the rule is "ab = ba"; in numbers, this means 2×3 = 3×2.

If satisfied please leave a review and feel free to give me brainiest.

Find the distance between the two numbers on the number line<br> -3.4, 2.8
nignag [31]

Answer:

A simple way to calculate the distance between numbers on a number line is to count every number between them. A faster way is to find the distance by taking the absolute value of the difference of those numbers. For example, the absolute values of 4 and -4, or |4| and |-4|, are both 4.
