Option A
Commutative property of addition states that order of the addends does not affect the sum
Solution:
The commutative property of addition tells us that it does not matter which number we add first , We will still get the same answer if we add them backwards
This property is represented as:
For two numbers a, b:
a + b = b + a
In case of three numbers a, b, c:
a + b + c = c + b + a = b + a + c
So no matter how the addends are placed, the result of the operation (sum) remains the same
For example:
When we are adding 4 and 5
4 + 5 = 9 or 5 + 4 = 9 both the ways the result remains same
Thus Commutative Property of Addition states that changing the order of addends does not change the sum
