Answer:

-5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

For the multiplicative inverse the numerator and denominator are switched i.e. the numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator...Don't forget the sign

The logic is --

As when a number is multiplied by its multiplicative inverse it results in 1...

So, If we suppose the multiplicative inverse is x

Then,

 \frac{ - 3}{5}  \times x \:  =  \: 1

 x \:  = \frac{1 \times 5}{ - 3}

x \:  =  \:  \frac{5}{( - 3)}  =  \frac{ (- 5)}{3}

Hence the multiplicative inverse of -3/5 is -5/3.

Hope this helps !!
