Answer:

d.
4(1)/(4)

Explanation:

Let x be the additive inverse of our given number.

We are asked to choose the correct option that represents the additive inverse of
-4(1)/(4).

Additive inverse of any number is the number that, when added to the number, yields zero.

By definition of additive inverse, when we will add x to
-4(1)/(4), we should get 0 as our answer. We can represent this information in an equation as:


-4(1)/(4)+x=0

Let us solve for x by adding
4(1)/(4) to both sides of our equation.


-4(1)/(4)+4(1)/(4)+x=0+4(1)/(4)


x=4(1)/(4)

Therefore, additive inverse of
-4(1)/(4) is
4(1)/(4) and option d is the correct choice.
