Answer 1

Answer:

g. True

h. False

i. False

Step-by-step explanation:

g.

$\frac{1}{14}$ is half of $\frac{1}{7}$

This would be true because half of a number can be found by multiplying by $\frac{1}{2}$

If you multiplied $\frac{1}{7} * \frac{1}{2}$

The numerator is 1 * 1 which is 1

And then the denominator is 7 * 2 which is 14

That would give you $\frac{1}{14}$

h.

The products of two reciprocals is 0

This is not true

Reason being, reciprocals are just the number flipped. If you times the number by itself, you don't get 0, you get 1.

Ex: $\frac{2}{8}$

Its reciprocal is $\frac{8}{2}$

So multiply them together

$\frac{2}{8}* \frac{8}{2}$

2 * 8 = 16

8 * 2 = 16

$\frac{16}{16} = 1$

i.

A whole number does not have a reciprocal

This is incorrect. If you think about it, a whole number is just the number, over 1

Ex: $\frac{6}{1}$

This is still a whole number even though its written in fraction form because if you divide 6 by 1, your still going to get 6.

If you an write it as a fraction, it has a reciprocal.

The reciprocal in this case would be $\frac{1}{6}$
