To solve the equation \( x/4 = 12 \) using inverse operations, we need to isolate \( x \).
- The inverse operation of division (in this case, dividing \( x \) by 4) is multiplication.
- To eliminate the division, we multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
\[ x/4 \cdot 4 = 12 \cdot 4 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ x = 48 \]
Therefore, the correct response is:
Inverse operation is multiplication; x = 48
