I was never sure of what the "additive inverse" is.
So, just now, just for you, I went and looked it up.
The additive inverse of any number ' A ' is the number
that you need to ADD to A to get zero. That's all !
So now, let's check out the choices:
a), 6, -(-6)
That second number, -(-6), is the same as +6 .
So the two numbers are the same.
Do you get zero when you add them up ? No.
b). -7, 7
What do you get when you add -7 and 7 ?
You get zero.
So these ARE additive inverses.
c). -7, -7
What do you get when you add -7 to -7 ?
You get -14 . That's not zero, so these
are NOT additive inverses.
d). 7, 7
What do you get when you add 7 to 7 ?
You get 14. That's NOT zero, so these
are NOT additive inverses.
e). 6, -6
What do you get when you add 6 to -6 ?
You get zero.
So these ARE additive inverses.
What do we end up with from the list of choices:
a)., c)., and d). are NOT additive inverses.
b). and e). ARE additive inverses.
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 12 gumballs in total
1 yellow + 2 pink = 3 gumballs out of all 12
3 /12 is simplified to 1/4 as both numbers is divisible by 3
3,059 I don’t really care
