Question

Using your knowledge of inverse operations, the inverse operation for the equation 4,560/120 = 38 is ______?

Answer 1

Given:

The equation is

$\dfrac{4560}{120}=38$

To find:

The inverse operation for the equation using the knowledge of inverse operations.

Solution:

We have,

$\dfrac{4560}{120}=38$

Here, 4560 is divided by 120. So, in this equation the operation is division.

We know that inverse operation of division is multiplication. So, multiply both sides by 120.

$\dfrac{4560}{120}\times 120=38\times 120$

$4560=38\times 120$

It can be written as

$38\times 120=4560$

The inverse operation for the equation is $38\times 120=4560$.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
