Question

the multiplicative inverse of { 5/12 + (-5/8) - 7/24 } is

(a) -11/22
(b) -72/11
(c) 11/12
(d) 72/11

Answer 1

Answer:

i think that -11/22 is correct. but I not sure

Answer 2

Answer:

- 2

Step-by-step explanation:

LCD (12, 8, 24) = 24

$\frac{5}{12}$ - $\frac{5}{8}$ - $\frac{7}{24}$ = $\frac{10-15-7}{24}$ = $-\frac{12}{24}$ = $-\frac{1}{2}$

The multiplicative inverse of ( $-\frac{1}{2}$ ) is ( - 2 )

( $-\frac{1}{2}$ ) × ( - 2 ) = 1
