Question

give and example of why divison is not associative

Answer 1

See

associative property for division should be
\[a/(b/c)=(a/b)/c\]

right ?

now see

\[2/(6/3) = 2/3 \]
and

\[(2/6)/3 = (1/3)/3 = 1\]

clearly
\[2/3 \neq\ 1\]

Thus

Division is not associative

Answer 2

hello dear ster you have wrote wrong the first example 2/(6/3) this not is equal with how you have wrote with 2/3 this is 2/2=1 exactly like second

ATTENTION PLEASE !

Answer 3

dear star ! sorry

Answer 4

so one example that not is 8/(4/2) not equal (8/4)/2 because
8/(4/2)=8/2=4 when the second is (8/4)/2=2/2=1
