Question

Is -4/17 the multiplicative inverse of -4 1/4 Why of why not? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

we have 4 1/4 which is a mixed fraction gives out a fraction 17/4.

Therefore the multiplicative inverse is to be 4/17

as 17/4*4/17=1

Hence it is true

YOUR ANSWER IS NO,BECAUSE MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE IS RECIPROCOL OF THE NUMBER.I THINK YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND SO SEE THE EXAMPLE :

HERE THE -4/17 IS RECEPROCOL TO THE -17/4 INSTEAD OF -41/4.

-4/17=-17/4 NOT -41/4
