Answer:

the minus sign

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the symbol for the additive opposite is the minus sign

The symbol for the multiplicative opposite is the inverse operation 1/x (I think)

So, yes, specific opposites have symbols, BUT...

Just saying "the opposite of" is too blurry to find one word that represents that.

Answer:

sorry to answer late but..

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{75} cm$ = $\frac{scale }{real}$

the wings of the real plane are 12 meters or 1200 cm

we want to solve for the scale, sooo do the algebra...get scale by it self..

real * $\frac{1}{75}$ = scale

1200 * $\frac{1}{75}$ = 16

The scale model wings are 16 cm 2.54 cm is one inch so the wings are approx. 6.3 inches
