4. Simplify:



[(0 + 6) ÷ 12]–1 

       0


       1


       2


       -1






5. Add:



3/4 + 1/8 

       9/8


       3/4


       1/2


       7/8






Explanation / Answer

1) Distributive 2) Associative property 3) Additive Identity 4) ((0 + 6) / 12)^-1 = (6/12)^-1 = (1/2)^1 = 1/(1/2) = 2 5) 3/4 + 1/8 = 6/8 + 1/8 (finding a common denominator) = 7/8
