========================================================================
Section A – Identify the Property
For each statement, write which property of real numbers is being shown:
(Closure, Associative, Identity, Inverse, commutative)
1. 7+0=0 + 7 ___________________
2. (2+3)+4=2+(3+4) ___________________
3. 6×(5×2)=(6×5)×2 ___________________
4. 8 – 8=0 ___________________
5. 9×1=9 ___________________
6. −3+3=0 ___________________
7. 12 X 1=12 ___________________
8. 5+6=6+5 (Hint: Think carefully—does commutative property fit here?)
________________________________________________________
9. (7–2)–3≠7–(2–3)→ What does this show about subtraction?
____ ___________________________________________________
10. The sum of two integers (e.g., –4 + 7) is always another
integer.__________________________________________________
Section B – Apply Your Knowledge
11.Write one real-life example of the identity property of multiplication.
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
12. Make a word problem that uses the inverse property of addition
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________.
13. Does the closure property hold for division? Give one example to
explain.
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
Q: Circle the correct option:
a) (4+5)+7=4+(5+7) → (Associative / Identity / Inverse)
b) 15+0=15 + 0 → (Identity / Closure / Commutative)
c) 9×(2×5)=(9×2)×59 → (Associative / Inverse / Closure)
Section C – Challenge
15. Explain in your own words:
Why do we say that 0 is the identity for addition but 1 is the identity for
multiplication?
