I need help with these three math question.
1st question. What is the additive inverse of 5 on the 12-hour clock?
2nd question. What is the equivalent number on the 12-hour clock. -22 the choices for this question is, 5 or 2 or 3 or 1.
3rd question. I need to find the additive inverse of -9 on the 12-hour clock.
I really am having a tough time with these questions, can someone please help me.
YOU FALL OFF A CLIFF THEN YOU SAY OOF
The additive inverse is the # which when added to a number equals zero.
interesting questions. If you consider 12 on the clock to be '0", the -3 would have 3 as an "AI".
If you consider the number you are starting from to be "0" then = or - 12 would always give the number back to you.
Q #2 might hold the answer because of the choices given. The only number that is 22 hours away form 12 is 2.
I would consider using 12 as zero for the other questions as well.
Of course! I'd be happy to help you with your math questions.
1st question: To find the additive inverse of 5 on the 12-hour clock, we need to find a number that, when added to 5, gives us 0. On the 12-hour clock, the numbers range from 1 to 12. To find the additive inverse, we can subtract 5 from 12, since 5 + 7 = 12. Therefore, the additive inverse of 5 on the 12-hour clock is 7.
2nd question: To find the equivalent number on the 12-hour clock for -22, we need to determine which number between 1 and 12 is equivalent to -22. To do this, we can use the concept of congruence modulo 12. -22 is congruent to 2 modulo 12 because -22 and 2 have the same remainder when divided by 12. Therefore, the equivalent number on the 12-hour clock for -22 is 2.
3rd question: To find the additive inverse of -9 on the 12-hour clock, we need to find a number that, when added to -9, gives us 0. Similar to the first question, we can subtract -9 from 12 to find the additive inverse. 12 - (-9) = 21. However, since we are working on the 12-hour clock, we need to find the equivalent number within the range of 1 to 12. So, 21 is congruent to 9 modulo 12. Therefore, the additive inverse of -9 on the 12-hour clock is 9.
I hope these step-by-step explanations help! Let me know if you have any further questions.

1st question: To find the additive inverse of a number on the 12-hour clock, we need to find the number that, when added to the given number, would give us zero or 12. In this case, the additive inverse of 5 would be 7, since 5 + 7 = 12. So, the additive inverse of 5 on the 12-hour clock is 7.
2nd question: To find the equivalent number on the 12-hour clock for a given number, we need to find the number that would give us the same angle but within the range of 1 to 12. In this case, we have -22 as the given number. To get the equivalent positive number, we add 12 to -22, since adding 12 to a number doesn't change its angle. So, -22 + 12 = -10. However, since we need the number within the range of 1 to 12, we can add another 12 to -10. Therefore, -10 + 12 = 2. So, the equivalent number on the 12-hour clock for -22 is 2.
3rd question: Similar to the first question, to find the additive inverse of a number on the 12-hour clock, we need to find the number that, when added to the given number, would give us zero or 12. In this case, the additive inverse of -9 would be 9, since -9 + 9 = 0. So, the additive inverse of -9 on the 12-hour clock is 9.
