3. ALGEBRA READINESS “Solving Equations by Multiplying Fractions” (5-6) Multiplicative Inverse: the reciprocal of a number Rule: Inverse Property of Multiplication: the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1 To isolate the variable in equations involving the multiplication of the variable by a fraction, undo the fraction from the variable side using the Division Property of Equality, which says divide both side by the fraction. Since dividing by a fraction means multiplying by its reciprocal, multiply both side by the reciprocal of the fraction using the Inverse Property of Multiplication. Example: What is a “multiplicative inverse”? What is the “inverse property of multiplication”? How do you solve equations in that involve multiplying fractions?
