Answer 1

Answer:

Multiplicative inverse of 2/5 is 5/2.

True

Answer 2

True

1. The multiplicative inverse is a mathematical term

2. It is also called the reciprocal of a number

3. It is represented, for a number x, by 1/x or x−1

4. It basically is a number that when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1.

5. So, the number just needs to reciprocate, that is, the numerator will be changed into a denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator of the inverse.

6. So, the multiplicative inverse of 2/5 is to be found by reversing the number, so it is 5/2
