Question

What is the multiplication inverse of -2/5

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiplicative Inverse of 5÷2

Answer 2

Given,

The given fraction is = -⅖

To find,

The multiplicative inverse of the given fraction.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Now, product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is always 1

Let, the multiplicative inverse = x

So, according to the previously mentioned mathematical property of multiplicative inverse.

x × (-⅖) = 1

x = 1 ÷ (-⅖)

x = 1 × (-⁵/₂)

x = -⁵/₂

(This will be the multiplicative inverse of the given fraction.)

Hence, the multiplicative inverse will be -⁵/₂
