Question

Is 5 / 3 the multiplicative inverse of 0.5

Answer 1

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

• 5/3is not equal to 5/10

Answer 2

ANSWER:

first let us know what is a multiplicative inverse

MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE:

mutiplicative inverse is just the reciprocal of the given number.

(or)

simply when two numbers are multiplied if their product is 1.They are called as multiplicative inverse of each other

for example

multiplicative inverse of a is 1/a

here a×1/a=1

so,they are multiplicative identities of each other

now let us come to our question

$\bf is \: \frac{5}{3} the \: multiplicative\: inverse \: of \: 0.5$

$\bf 0.5=\frac{5}{10}$

the condition of multiplicative inverse is that their product is 1

let us multiply both of them

$\bf \frac{5}{3}×\frac{5}{10}=\frac{5}{6} \neq 1$

so

your answer will be

NO
