Hi! For the first question, the property being demonstrated is the Commutative Property of Addition. For the second problem, the answer would be the Additive Identity Property of 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the problem 1.5 + 1.7 + 3.5 = 1.5 + 3.5 + 1.7, we can see the commutative property being used. The Commutative Property of Addition states that changing the order of the addends will not have an affect on the sum. As long as you still keep the same addends, the sum will <u>always </u>remain the same <u>regardless</u> of the order.
In the problem 16 + 0 = 16, we see the Additive property of 0 being demonstrated. This property basically states that adding a number to 0 will give you the same number. It is usually very easy to identify if you look for 0 being added to an addend.
You just multiply the top and bottom numbers like it was two normal multiplication problems. Ex. 3/4x1/4=3/16 (3x1,4x4) But its different because you have to put them together to make a fraction (3/16).
