Answer
Associative for
Numbers -

1) Rational numbers
Addition -
$ \begin{array}{l} \text { Yes, e.g. } \\ \frac{-1}{2}+\left[\frac{3}{7}+\left(\frac{-4}{3}\right)\right] \\ =\left[\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{3}{7}\right]+\left(\frac{-4}{3}\right) \\ \Rightarrow \frac{-1}{2}+\left(\frac{9-28}{21}\right) \\ =\left(\frac{-7+6}{14}\right)-\frac{4}{3} \\ \Rightarrow-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{19}{21}=\frac{-1}{14}-\frac{4}{3} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{-59}{42}=\frac{-59}{42} \end{array} $
which is true.
Substraction - No,
e.g. $ \begin{array}{l} \frac{-2}{3}-\left(\frac{-4}{5}-\frac{1}{2}\right) \\ \Rightarrow\left[\frac{-2}{3}-\left(\frac{-1}{5}\right)\right]-\frac{1}{2} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{-2}{3}-\left(\frac{-8-5}{10}\right) \\ \neq\left[\frac{-10+12}{15}\right]-\frac{1}{2} \\ \Rightarrow-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{13}{10} \neq \frac{2}{15}-\frac{1}{2} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{-20+39}{30} \neq \frac{4-15}{30} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{19}{30} \neq \frac{-11}{30} \end{array} $
So, not associative for subtraction.
Multiplication - $ \begin{array}{l} \text { Yes, e.g. } \frac{2}{3} \times\left(\frac{-6}{7} \times \frac{4}{5}\right) \\ =\left[\frac{2}{3} \times\left(\frac{-6}{7}\right)\right] \times \frac{4}{5} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{2}{3} \times\left(\frac{-24}{35}\right) \\ =\frac{-12}{21} \times \frac{4}{5} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{-16}{35}=\frac{-16}{35} \end{array} $
which is true.
Division - No, e.g
$ \begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{2}+\left[\frac{-1}{3}+\frac{2}{5}\right]+\left[\frac{1}{2}+\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)\right]+\frac{2}{5} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}+\left[-\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{5}{2}\right] \\ \quad \neq\left[\frac{1}{2} \times\left(-\frac{3}{1}\right)\right]+\frac{2}{5} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times\left(-\frac{6}{5}\right) \neq\left[\frac{-3}{2}\right] \times \frac{5}{2} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{-3}{5} \neq \frac{-15}{4} \end{array} $
So, not associative for division.

2) Integers
Addition - Yes,
e.g.
$ \begin{array}{l} (-2)+[3+(-4)] \\ \quad=[(-2)+3]+(-4) \\ \Rightarrow(-2)+[-1]=[1]+(-4) \\ \Rightarrow-3=-3 \end{array} $
which is true.
Substraction - No, e.g.
$ \begin{array}{l} 5-(7-3) \neq (5-7)-3 \\ \Rightarrow 5-4 \neq (-2)-3 \\ \Rightarrow \quad 1 \neq-5 \end{array} $
So, not associative for subtraction.
Multiplication - $ \begin{array}{l} \text { Yes, e.g. } 5 \times[(-7) \times(-8)] \\ =[5 \times(-7)] \times(-8) \\ \Rightarrow 5 \times(56)=(-35) \times(-8) \\ \Rightarrow 280=280 \end{array} $
which is true.
Division - $ \begin{array}{l} \text { No, e.g } \\ {[-10+2]+(-5)} \\ \quad \neq(-10)+[2+(-5)] \\ \Rightarrow\left[\frac{-10}{2}\right]+(-5) \neq(-10)+\left(\frac{2}{-5}\right) \\ \Rightarrow(-5) \times\left(\frac{-1}{5}\right) \neq(-10) \times\left(\frac{-5}{2}\right) \\ \Rightarrow 1 \neq 25 \end{array} $
So, not associative for division.

3) Whole numbers
Addition - Yes,
e.g.
$ \begin{array}{l} 2+(0+5) \\ =(2+0)+5 \end{array} $ $ \Rightarrow 7=7 $
which is true.
Substraction - No, e.g.
$ \begin{array}{l} 2-(0-5) \neq(2-0)-5 \\ \Rightarrow \quad 7 \end{array} $
So, not associative for subtraction.
Multiplication - $ \begin{array}{l} \text { Yes, e.g. } 2 \times[3 \times(-5)] \\ =[2 \times 3] \times(-5) \\ \Rightarrow 2 \times(-15)=(6) \times(-5) \\ \Rightarrow-30=-30 \end{array} $
which is true.
Division - No, e.g.
$ \begin{array}{l} (2+3)+5 \neq 2+(3+5) \\ \Rightarrow\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+5 \neq 2+\left(\frac{3}{5}\right) \\ \Rightarrow \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{5} \neq 2 \times \frac{5}{3} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{2}{15} \neq \frac{10}{3} \end{array} $
So, not associative for division.

4) Natural numbers
Addition - Yes,
e.g.
$ \begin{array}{l} 2+(4+5) \\ =(2+4)+5 \\ \Rightarrow 11=11 \end{array} $
which is not true
Substraction - No, e.g.
$ \begin{array}{l} 4-(5-1) \neq(4-5)-1 \\ \Rightarrow 0 \neq-2 \end{array} $
So, not associative for subtraction.
Multiplication - Yes, e.g.
$ \begin{array}{l} 3 \times(4 \times 5)=(3 \times 4) \times 5 \\ \Rightarrow 60=60 \end{array} $
which is true.
Division - No, e.g.
$ \begin{array}{l} (4+2)+5 \neq 4+(2+5) \\ \Rightarrow 2+5 \neq 4+\frac{2}{5} \\ \Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{1}{5} \neq 4 \times \frac{5}{2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{2}{5} \neq \frac{20}{2} \end{array} $
So, not associative for division.

Answer
Associative for
Numbers -

1) Rational numbers
Addition -
$ \begin{array}{l} \text { Yes, e.g } \\ \left(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{5}{7}=\frac{5}{7}+\frac{2}{3}\right) \\ \Rightarrow \frac{14+15}{21}=\frac{15+14}{21} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{29}{21}=\frac{29}{21} \end{array} $
which is true.
Substraction -
$ \begin{array}{l} \text { No, e. } 1 \\ \left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{5} * \frac{3}{5}-\frac{1}{2}\right) \\ \Rightarrow \frac{5-6}{10} \neq \frac{6-5}{10} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{-1}{10} \neq \frac{1}{10} \end{array} $
So, not commutative for subtraction
Multiplication - Yes, e.p $ \begin{array}{l} \frac{7}{3} \times \frac{6}{5}+\frac{6}{5} \times\left(\frac{-7}{3}\right) \\ \Rightarrow \frac{-42}{15}=\frac{-42}{15} \end{array} $
which is true.
Division - No, e.g $ \begin{array}{l} \frac{-5}{4}+\frac{3}{7} \times \frac{3}{7}+\left(\frac{-5}{4}\right) \\ \Rightarrow \frac{-5}{4} \times \frac{7}{3} \neq \frac{3}{7} \times \frac{4}{-5} \\ \Rightarrow-\frac{35}{12} \times \frac{12}{-35} \end{array} $
So, not commutative for division.

2) Integers
Addition - Yes,
e.g. $5+3=3+5$ $\Rightarrow 8=8$
which is true.
Substraction - No, $ \begin{array}{l} \text { e.g }[5-(-3) \neq-3-5] \\ \Rightarrow 5+3 \neq-3-5 \\ \Rightarrow 8 \neq-8 \end{array} $
So, not commutative for subtraction.
Multiplication - Yes, $ \begin{array}{l} \text { e.g. } 3 \times(-5)=(-5) \times 3 \\ \Rightarrow-15=-15 \end{array} $
which is true.
Division - $ \begin{array}{l} \text { No, e.g. }(3+5+5+3) \\ \Rightarrow \frac{3}{5} \neq \frac{5}{3} \end{array} $
So, not cornmutative for division.

3) Whole numbers
Addition - Yes,
$ \begin{array}{l} \text { e.g. }(0+7=7+0) \\ \Rightarrow 7=7 \end{array} $
which is true.
Substraction - $ \text { No, e.g. }(5-4 \neq 4-5) $
$ 1 \neq-1 $
So, not commutative for subtraction.
Multiplication - Yes, $ \begin{array}{l} \text { e.g. }(5 \times 4=4 \times 5) \\ \Rightarrow 20=20 \end{array} $
which is true.
Division - No, e.g. $(5+0 \neq 0+5)$
So. not commutative for division.

4) Natural numbers
Addition - Yes,
e.g. $(2+3=3+2)$
$ \Rightarrow 5=5 $
which is true.
Substraction - No, $ \begin{array}{l} \text { No, e.g. }(2-3 \neq 3-2) \\ \Rightarrow-1 \neq 1 \end{array} $
So, not commutative for subtraction.
Multiplication - Yes, $ \begin{array}{l} \text { e.g. }(2 \times 3=3 \times 2) \\ \Rightarrow 6=6 \end{array} $
which is true.
