? Closure property is true for addition of rational numbers.
Closure property for multiplication
8th Standard Maths Book Exercise 1.2 Samacheer Kalvi
? Closure property is true for multiplication of rational numbers.

8th Std Maths Exercise 1.2 Question 4.
Verify the associative property for addition and multiplication of the rational numbers \(\frac{-10}{11}, \frac{5}{6}, \frac{-4}{3}\).
Solution:
8th Standard Maths Exercise 1.2 Samacheer Kalvi
8th Std Maths Exercise 1.2 Samacheer Kalvi
a × (b × c) = \(\frac{100}{99}\)
From (1) and (2) a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c is true for rational numbers.
Thus associative property is true for addition and multiplication of rational numbers.

Samacheer Guru 8th Maths Question 5.
Check the commutative property for addition and multiplication of the rational numbers \(\frac{-10}{11}\) and \(\frac{-8}{33}\).
Solution:
Let a = \(\frac{-10}{11}\) and b = \(\frac{-8}{33}\) be the given rational numbers.
Samacheer Guru 8th Maths Samacheer Kalvi
From (1) and (2)
a + b = b + a and hence addition is commutative for rational numbers.
Samacheerkalvi.Guru 8th Maths Samacheer Kalvi
From (3) and (4) a × b = b × a
Hence multiplication is commutative for rational numbers.

Samacheerkalvi.Guru 8th Maths Question 6.
Verify the distributive property a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c) for the rational numbers a = \(\frac{-1}{2}\) ,b = \(\frac{2}{3}\) and c = \(\frac{-5}{6}\).
Solution:
Given the rational number a = \(\frac{-1}{2}\) ,b = \(\frac{2}{3}\) and c = \(\frac{-5}{6}\).
10th Maths Exercise 1.2 Samacheer Kalvi
From (1) and (2) we have a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c) is true.
Hence multiplication is distributive over addition for rational numbers Q.
