1.25 + x = 5
1.25x = 5
1.25/5 = x
5x = 1.25
The correct response is: 1.25x = 5.
The correct inverse operation for solving the equation x/4 = 12 is multiplication.
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
x/4 * 4 = 12 * 4
This simplifies to:
x = 48
Therefore, the correct answer is: Inverse operation is multiplication; x = 48
