Q. Which property of addition is shown?(n+p)+q=n+(p+q)Choices:(A)associative(B)commutative(C)identity
Identify Property of Addition: Identify the property of addition that relates to the grouping of numbers.The associative property of addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not change their sum. This property can be written as (a+b)+c=a+(b+c).
Compare with Associative Property: Compare the given equation with the associative property.The given equation n+p + q = n + p+q matches the form of the associative property, where the grouping of addends is changed but the sum remains the same.
Match with Correct Property: Match the given equation with the correct property from the choices.The given equation (n+p)+q=n+(p+q) is an example of the associative property of addition, which corresponds to choice (A) associative.
