Answer:

A. subtraction

B. division

C. multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe what is done to the variable. Choose the operation that turns the unwanted value into the appropriate identity element.

A. 3.75 is added. To make that value be 0, we subtract 3.75.

B. -3 is multiplied. To make that value be 1, we divide by -3.

C. m is divided by 5. To make that 1/5 multiplier be 1, we multiply by 5.

D. 4 is subtracted. To make that value be zero, we add 4.

_____

Additional comment

Since subtraction is the same as addition of the opposite, and division is the same as multiplication by the reciprocal, the only two properties we really need are the addition property and multiplication property. Your grader may disagree.

Add and simplify 9/16 + 1/2 equals

Tomtit [17]

For this question you can say:
1/2 = 8/16
so now you can add easily:
9/16 + 8/16 = 17/16 and that's the simplest fraction but you can also say:
17/16 = 1.0625 :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day
