The product of 3/8 and the additive inverse of 4/15 is -1/10.
Given:
Two numbers, 3/8 and 4/15.
To Find:
The product of 3/8 and the additive inverse of 4/15.
Solution:
We will use the concept of additive inverse here.
Additive inverses are the numbers that by adding to the original number give us the additive identity, i.e. 0.
Additive inverses are obtained by taking the negative of the original number.
For example, the additive identity of 'a' is '-a' and a+(-a) = 0.
We are asked to find the product of 3/8 and the additive inverse of 4/15.
The additive inverse of 4/15 = -4/15.
The product of 3/8 and the additive inverse of 4/15 in terms of a mathematical expression is given as
3/8 x -4/15 = -1/10.
∴ The product of 3/8 and the additive inverse of 4/15 is -1/10.
