Question

Whst will be the multiplicative inverse of3/5 - 4/27 + 5/18​

Answer 1

Answer:





Find the multiplicative inverse of the following

(i) -13    (ii) -13/19    (iii) 1/5    (iv) -5/8 × -3/7    (v) -1 × -2/5

(vi) -1

Solution:

The reciprocal of a given rational number is known as its multiplicative inverse. The product of a rational number and its multiplicative inverse is 1.

(i) The Multiplicative inverse of -13 is -1/13

∵ -13 × (-1/13) = 1

(ii) The Multiplicative inverse of -13/19 is -19/13

∵ -13/19 × (-19/13) = 1

(iii) The Multiplicative inverse of 1/5 is 5

∵ 1/5 × 5 = 1

(iv) The Multiplicative inverse of -5/8 × -3/7 is 56/15

∵ -5/8 × (-3/7) = 15/56 and 15/56 × 56/15 = 1

(v) The Multiplicative inverse of -1 × -2/5 is 5/2

∵ -1 × (-2/5) = 2/5 and 2/5 × 5/2 = 1

(vi) The Multiplicative inverse of -1 is -1

∵ -1 × (-1) = 1
