A lot depends upon your interpretation of "opposite."  Do you mean "reciprocal?"

If you give the number a, the reciprocal would be 1/a.  Is that what you mean?

Or do you mean "the number with opposite sign?"  If you give the number b, "the number with opposite sign" would be -b.

Consider both cases.  Choose a rational number (such as 7/8).  Find the reciprocal of this number.  Find the number with opposite sign of this number.

Kathy needs money for a trip to Europe if she has US$300 in the bank but wants to withdraw half of it In British pounds and half
Aleks [24]

Answer: She has 21.63 more euros than pounds and has 1.23 times more euros than pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

She has US$300, and she will withdraw half of it on pounds, and half of it in euros.

(half of US$300 is US$150)

We know that:

1 pound = US$1.6

(1 pound/US$1.6) = 1

Then US$150 = US$150*(1 pound/US$1.6) = (150/1.6) pounds = 93.75 pounds.

And we also know that:

1 euro = US$ 1.3

then:

(1 euro/US$ 1.3) = 1

This means that:

US$150 = US$150*(1 euro/US$ 1.3) = (150/1.3) euros = 115.38 euros.

This means that:

115.38 - 93.75 = 21.63

This means that she has 21.63 more euros than pounds.

and:

115.38/93.75 = 1.23

She has 1.23 times more euros than pounds.
