Question

In a quiz , group A scored -35 ,8,0 and group B scored 8,0,-35 in three successive rounds . Which group scored more?Can we say that integers can be added in any order

Answer 1

Group A and Group B scored same after three rounds.

Yes, integers can be added in any order.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Group A scores:

-35 ,8,0

Group B scores:

8,0,-35

Total score of group A =

`-35 + 8 + 0 = -27`

Total score on group B =

`8 +0 + (-35) = -27`

Thus, both the group scored same score.

Yes, integers can be added up on any order, they have the same result. This is known as the associative property of addition.

The addition is not effected by the order of the addend. They can be added in any order.
