Question 2.
Is subtraction is commutative for rational numbers. Given an example.
Solution:
No, subtraction is not commutative for rational numbers.
Example: Let a = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and b = \(\frac{5}{6}\)
Samacheer Kalvi 8th Maths Term 1 Chapter 1 Rational Numbers Additional Questions 11
From (1) and (2)
a – b ≠ b – a for rational numbers

Very Short Answers [5 Marks]

Question 1.
Verify associative property for addition of rational numbers for a = \(\frac{5}{6}\), b = \(\frac{-3}{4}\), c = \(\frac{4}{7}\)
Solution:
Given a = \(\frac{5}{6}\), b = \(\frac{-3}{4}\), c = \(\frac{4}{7}\)
Samacheer Kalvi 8th Maths Term 1 Chapter 1 Rational Numbers Additional Questions 12
From (1) and (2) we have (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
∴ Associative property is true for addition of rational numbers.

Question 2.
Verify distributive property of multiplication over addition for the rational numbers a = \(\frac{3}{4}\), b = \(\frac{-2}{3}\), c = \(\frac{3}{7}\)
Solution:
Given a = \(\frac{3}{4}\), b = \(\frac{-2}{3}\), c = \(\frac{3}{7}\)
To verify a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
Samacheer Kalvi 8th Maths Term 1 Chapter 1 Rational Numbers Additional Questions 13
Samacheer Kalvi 8th Maths Term 1 Chapter 1 Rational Numbers Additional Questions 14
From (1) and (2)
a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
∴ Distributive property of multiplication over addition is true for the given rational numbers.
