The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number when you multiply it, it gives you the product of 1.
So for - 27, what number will give us 1 when we multiply it by -27
-27 * -1/27 = 1
So the multiplicative inverse of -27 = -1/27
7/9 * 9/7 = 1
-9/16 * -16/9 = 1
So in essence, just take the number and flip it
-27 = -1 / 27
7/9 = 9/7
-9/16 = -16/9
Answer:Cross multiply and solve for x.
x/6 = 5/1.25
let the height of building be h ft
h/6 = 60/15
h = 6(60/15) = 24
the building is 24 ft high
Step-by-step explanation:
Well first let’s covert the ft to in- 5ft is 60 in and 6ft is 72 in. Then we want to set up 2 fractions based on height and shadow, so we have 60/15=x/72 (we put x because that’s what we’re trying to find). Then we do cross multiplication so now we have 15x=4320. We divide 15, so now we have 4320/15=288. So the building is 288 in tall or 24ft tall! Glad to help! :)
To find the answer divide each money amount by the cost:
