Question

is 8/9 the multiplicative inverse of -1 1/8?
why or why not?​

Answer 1

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

If we write -1 1/8 as a fraction we will get -7/8

and the multiplicative inverse of 8/9 is 9/8

Therefore, it is not possible for -1 1/8 to be the multiplicative inverse of 8/9

Answer 2

-1 1/8 = -(!×8+1)

= -(8+1) /8

=-9/8

w know that number × mtiplicative inverse of number = 1

therefore we need to check if , -1 1/8 ×8/9 = 1

hence ,8/9 is not the multiplicative inverse of -1 1/8 as product is not 1
