Pooja computes (-3/4) + (5/6) and her friend computes (5/6) + (-3/4). Which property guarantees both will get the same answer, and what is that answer?

Question

Accepted Answer

commutative property; 1/12. Commutativity of addition guarantees the same sum. -3/4 + 5/6 = -9/12 + 10/12 = 1/12.

Pooja computes $(- \frac{3}{4}) + (\frac{5}{6})$ and her friend computes $(\frac{5}{6}) + (- \frac{3}{4})$ .
