Question

If 4a = 1, then a = 1/4

Which property is demonstrated by the example?
A) transitive property
B) identity property for addition
C) multiplicative property of zero
D) inverse property for multiplication

Answer 1

the answer is d because you multiplied 4 by it's reciprocal to get 1

Answer 2

Given:If 4a = 1, then a =
`(1)/(4).`

We use inverse properties to solve equations. Inverse Property of Multiplication says that any number multiplied by its reciprocal is equal to one.

4 is multiplied to a .Reciprocal of 4 is
`(1)/(4).` We multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 4 to get a=
`(1)/(4).`

Option D) inverse property for multiplication is right answer.
