Question

Name the property the equation illustrates.

- 4 x - 1/4 = 1



A. Inverse Property of Multiplication

B. Inverse Property of Addition

C. Property of –1

D. Identity Property of Division

Answer 1

Answer: Hence, option 'A' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

`-4* (-1)/(4)=1`

It is the property of multiplicative inverse.

As we know that "Inverse Property of Multiplication" which states that

When we multiply a number with its reciprocal, we always get an identity.

i.e.

`a* (1)/(a)=1`

Hence, option 'A' is correct.

Answer 2

Hi there! So, there's -4 and that is being multiplied by -1/4, which is it's reciprocal, because it's -4 flipped over. It's definitely not C or D. There is no addition, so it's not B. The only answer that truly makes sense is A, so the answer is A.
