Question

Select the postulate of equality or inequality that is illustrated. If One Fourths (1/4) + One Fourths (1/4) = Two Fourths (2/4) and Two Fourths (2/4) = One Half (1/2), then One Fourth (1/4) + One Fourth (1/4) = One Half (1/2)

Answer 1

Answer:

The transitive postulate of equality is illustrated in our given problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that transitive postulate of equality states that if a=b and b=c then a=c.

We are told that $\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{4} =\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}$.

Therefore, by the transitive postulate of equality $\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{2}$.  

Answer 2

Answer:

'Transitive postulate of equality'

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : The postulate of equality or inequality that is illustrated.  

Solution :

Given illustration is  

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{4}$ and  $\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$        

Then, $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$  

Now, We let  $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=a,\frac{2}{4}=b,\frac{1}{2}=c$

According to this, $a=b\text{ and }b=c\text{ then }a=c$

Which is 'Transitive postulate of equality'.

So, The required postulate of equality is transitive.
