Question

the rational numbers "-16/25" and 25 /-16 are ______________.
a) Same
b) Additive inverse
c) Reciprocals
d) Cannot identify

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is c reciprocles

Answer 2

The rational numbers "-16/25" and 25 /-16 are (c) Reciprocals.

• As the rational numbers are not the same because the denominators or the numerators are different
• Additive inverse are those numbers which when added to a number inverses the number and here the rational numbers are not additive inverse
• Reciprocals are in general terms the inverse of the fraction, and here in the option, we can see that the numeration and denominator are inverse for the 2nd number.
• Hence, option(c) is correct.
