Step-by-step explanation:

D. The addictive inverse is the opposite of whatever number you have.

Answer 2

Answer:

d. $4\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step 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 $-4\frac{1}{4}$.

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 $-4\frac{1}{4}$, we should get 0 as our answer. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$-4\frac{1}{4}+x=0$

Let us solve for x by adding $4\frac{1}{4}$ to both sides of our equation.

$-4\frac{1}{4}+4\frac{1}{4}+x=0+4\frac{1}{4}$

$x=4\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, additive inverse of $-4\frac{1}{4}$ is $4\frac{1}{4}$ and option d is the correct choice.
