Answer:

The multiplicative inverse is -5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplicative inverse means we want to end up with 1

-3/5 * what =1

Multiply by 5 to clear the fraction

-3/5 * what *5 = 1*5

-3 * what = 5

Divide by -3 to isolate what

-3*what /-3 = 5/-3

what = -5/3

The multiplicative inverse is -5/3

A number is chosen at random from the first 100 positive integers. Find the probability that the number is divisible by 5. 1/10

rosijanka [135]

The number of multiples of 5 from 1 to 100 is:

1≤5n≤100

1/5≤n≤20, since n must be an integer

1≤n≤20

So the multiples of five number 20-1+1=20 elements, and the probability of choosing one of the multiples from the first 100 positive integers is:

P(5n)=20/100=1/5
