Answer to Problem 27P
No
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Different ingredients:
One cup of sugar, two cups of flour and 4 ounces of chocolate
The taste will not be different if we add the ingredients in different order.
That means the order of adding the ingredients does not affect the taste. This can be related with the cumulative property of real numbers.
The commutative property of addition for real number means that by changing the order of addends the sum does not change.
