Question

Using the Multiplicative Inverse Property, what is the missing number in the following equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

$x\cdot \frac{7}{4}=1\\\\x\cdot \frac{7}{4}\cdot \frac{4}{7}=1\cdot \frac{4}{7}\\\\x\cdot 1 = \frac{4}{7}\\\\x=\frac{4}{7}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is $\frac{4}{7}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the end result being 1, we can sufficiently say it is neither -7/4 nor -4/7, due to a positive number multiplied by a negative number always equating to a negative number.

Therefore, using the Multiplicative Inverse Property, we can find the result by dividing 1 over $\frac{7}{4}$:

$\frac{1}{\frac{7}{4}}$

$= \frac{4}{7}$

Hence, the answer is $\frac{4}{7}$.

Hope this helped!
