Question

Multiply the reciprocal of -9/12, 5/18 and add the additive inverse of (-4/5) to the product. What is the result

Answer 1

Answer:

The result is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given here that we have to do the reciprocal of - 9 / 12 and 5 / 18

Therefore their reciprocal are as follows:

-9 / 12 reciprocal = $\frac{-12}{9}$

5 / 18 reciprocal = $\frac{18}{5}$

Their product = $\frac{-12}{9}$ × $\frac{18}{5}$ = $\frac{-24}{5}$

And also the additive inverse of -4 /5 = $\frac{4}{5}$

Adding this to the above product we have,

$\frac{-24}{5} + \frac{4}{5}$

= $\frac{-24+4}{5}$

=$\frac{-20}{5}$

= -4

Therefore the answer is -4 .
