Question

The associative Property holds true for multiplication because (-3x4)x(-2)=-3x[4x(-2)] does the associative property hold true for division of integers? explain

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Consider your example.

`\begin{array}{ccc}\\(-3) / (4)/(-2) & = & (-3)/(4)/(-2)\\(-3/ 4) / (-2) & ? & (-3)/[(4)/(-2)]\\\left(-(3)/(4)\right) / (-2) & ? & (-3)/ \left((4 )/( -2)\right)\\\\(3)/(8) & ? & (-3)/(-2)\\\\(3)/(8) & \\eq & (3)/(2)\\\\\end{array}`

The associative property does not hold true for division of integers.
