Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Division is neither commutative nor associative.

To elaborate:

• Division is not commutative because \( a \div b \) is not necessarily equal to \( b \div a \).
• Division is also not associative because \( (a \div b) \div c \) is not necessarily equal to \( a \div (b \div c) \).
