Answer:
g. True
h. False
i. False
Step-by-step explanation:
g.
[tex]\frac{1}{14}[/tex] is half of [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]
This would be true because half of a number can be found by multiplying by [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
If you multiplied [tex]\frac{1}{7} * \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The numerator is 1 * 1 which is 1
And then the denominator is 7 * 2 which is 14
That would give you [tex]\frac{1}{14}[/tex]
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: [tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex]
Its reciprocal is [tex]\frac{8}{2}[/tex]
So multiply them together
[tex]\frac{2}{8}* \frac{8}{2}[/tex]
2 * 8 = 16
8 * 2 = 16
[tex]\frac{16}{16} = 1[/tex]
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: [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex]
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 [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
I hope this helps, don't be afraid to reach out with any further questions!
