Answer:

multiplicative inverse of 1/2 is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplicative inverse of a/b is b/a

Because $\frac{a}{b} * \frac{b}{a} =1$

To get multiplicative inverse of any fraction we take the reciprocal of that fraction

Multiplicative inverse of $\frac{1}{2} \ is \ \frac{2}{1}$

2/1 or 2 are same

so multiplicative inverse of 1/2 is 2

Which arrangement shows 318 , 3.7, 334 , and 3.89 in order from least to greatest?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: OPTION D.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Which arrangement shows $3\frac{1}{8}$ , 3.7, $3\frac{3}{4}$ , and 3.89 in order from least to greatest?"</h3><h3> </h3>

Convert from mixed numbers to decimal numbers.

The steps to do this, are the following:

1. You must divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator.

2. Then you must add the quotient obtained to the whole number part.

Applying this procedure, you get that:

$3\frac{1}{8}=3+0.125=3.125$
