1 answer

To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{4} = 12 \) using the inverse operation, you will need to multiply both sides by 4.

  1. Start with the equation: \[ \frac{x}{4} = 12 \]

  2. The inverse operation of division by 4 is multiplication by 4. So, multiply both sides by 4: \[ x = 12 \times 4 \]

  3. Calculate \( 12 \times 4 \): \[ x = 48 \]

The correct response is: Inverse operation is multiplication; x = 48.
