Additive Identity Element of 24

The additive identity element of a number is the number that when added to any other number, results in the same number. In other words, it is the number that does not change the value of the other number when added to it.

In this case, we are looking for the additive identity element of 24. That means we are looking for a number that when added to 24, results in 24.

The options given are:

a) 1/24
b) 1
c) 0
d) 24

Out of these options, the correct answer is option 'C', which is 0.

Explanation:

When we add 0 to 24, the value remains the same. In other words, 24+0=24. Therefore, 0 is the additive identity element of 24.

Option 'A' (1/24) cannot be the additive identity element of 24 because when we add 1/24 to 24, we get 24 1/24, which is a different value than 24.

Option 'B' (1) cannot be the additive identity element of 24 because when we add 1 to 24, we get 25, which is a different value than 24.

Option 'D' (24) cannot be the additive identity element of 24 because when we add 24 to 24, we get 48, which is a different value than 24.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' (0), which is the additive identity element of 24.
