Question

IS (8/9) THE MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE OF (1 ¹/₈) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

8/9 is not the multiplicative inverse of -1 1/8 because their product is -1. The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse must be +1. The multiplicative inverse of -1 1/8 (i.e. ) is actually because the product is then +1.
