extensive properties are depend on the amount of material or size of the system . eg- mass, volume

when they are add up together result in adding individual contributions. in other words value of the extensive property of a system will be sum of all the subsystem property.

intensive properties which are not depend on the size of the system or amount of material present, eg- temperature , all molar properties , presure, density,etc..

so combined effect of an intensive property result in averaging over individual contributions.

answer = The combined effect of an extensive property results from adding individual contributions.
