Given :
A number [tex]12\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{49}{4}[/tex] .
To Find :
What is the sum of 12 1/4 and it’s additive inverse .
Solution :
Fist we should know what is additive inverse .
Additive inverse of a number is that number , when added to it yield zero ,
Basically , for a real number , it reverses its sign :
The opposite to a positive is negative .
The opposite to a negative is positive .
Therefore , the sum of [tex]12\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] and it's additive inverse is 0 .
Hence , this is the required solution .
