A student claims: 'Division is associative because (a / b) / c = a / (b / c).'
Test this with a = 24, b = 4, c = 2.
Compute (24 / 4) / 2 and state whether the claim holds.
What is the value of (24 / 4) / 2?

Step-by-Step Solution

(24 / 4) / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3, but 24 / (4 / 2) = 24 / 2 = 12. Since 3 is not 12, division is NOT associative; the claim is false.
