Question

multiplicative inverse of 5/14
​

Answer 1

Given:

A fraction 5/ 14.

To Find:

The multiplicative inverse of the given fraction.

Solution:

- We know that multiplicative inverse is the no upon multiplication with which a no gives answer 1.

- So let us assume that the multiplicative inverse of 5/ 14 is x.

⇒ 5/ 14 × x = 1

⇒ x = 14 /5 × 1

⇒ x = 14 /5

- So, the multiplicative inverse of 5/ 14 is 14 /5.

Answer 2

Multiplicative inverse = 14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplicative inverse of any number is the number that makes it equal to one when it is multiplied to the given number.

Let the number be x.

Multiplicative inverse = 1/x

Product of number and multiplicative inverse = x * 1/x = 1 as x will get cancelled.

Multiplicative inverse of 5/14 will be 1/ (5/14). We get 14/5.
