Name the property used in the following:
$\frac{-4}{9}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{-4}{9}$
Given :
The given expression is $\frac{-4}{9}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{-4}{9}$.
To do :
We have to name the property used in the given expression.
Solution :
Commutative property of addition:
$a + b = b + a$
Here, $\frac{-4}{9}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{-4}{9}$
Changing the order of addends does not change the sum.
Therefore, the property used in the given expression is the Commutative property of addition.
