Question

Vrify whether 0.6 is the multiplicative inverse of 1 and 4/6 or not

Answer 1

Given: The number 0.6

To find: Whether 0.6 is the multiplicative inverse of 1 and 4/6?

Solution:

• Now we have given the number 0.6.

• In fraction, it can be written as 6/10.

• In simplified form, it is: 3/5.

• Multiplicative inverse of a number is the same as the reciprocal or

• Now we have 1:

                  1 x 3/5 = 3/5 ≠ 1

• So 0.6 is not a multiplicative inverse.

• Now we have 4/6:

                  4/6 x 3/5 = 12/30 ≠ 1

• So 0.6 is not a multiplicative inverse.

Answer:

            So 0.6 are not the multiplicative inverse of 1 and 4/6
