Answer 1

Given :

A number
`12(1)/(4)=(49)/(4)` .

To Find :

What is the sum of 12 1/4 and it’s additive inverse .

Solution :

Fist we should know what is additive inverse .

Additive inverse of a number is that number , when added to it yield zero ,

Basically , for a real number , it reverses its sign :

The opposite to a positive is negative .

The opposite to a negative is positive .

Therefore , the sum of
`12(1)/(4)` and it's additive inverse is 0 .

Hence , this is the required solution .
