Question

What is the additive inverse of any fraction like 1/2 and also its multiplicative inverse

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

e = In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x or x−1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1. The multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number.

Reciprocal or Multiplicative inverse: Dividing a number by 1 is the multiplicative inverse for Rational, natural, whole numbers and integers, since multiplying it to the original number always results in 1. Hence, ax 1/a = 1/a x a = 1, where a can be rational number or natural number or integer.

Answer 2

2/1 is its additive inverse as well as multiplicative inverse
