Question

If you multiply ( 2 / 3) with the multiplicative inverse of ( 2 + 1/3), then the result will be

a) Between 0.5 and 1
b) More than 1 but less than 2
c) Between 0 and 0.5
d) Greater than 2

Answer 1

c) Between 0 and 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the question is

=> (2/3) × [2+ (1/3)] multiplicative inverse

Then we have

=> 2 + 1/3

=> (6+1)/3

=> 7/3

=> 3/7 this is multiplicative inverse

Then multiple the two together we have

=> 2/3 × 3/7

=> 2/7 = 0.28.

Therefore, in this case, the correct answer is option C, which is "Between 0 and 0.5"

This is because 0.28 is greater than 0 but less than 0.5
