The multiplicative inverse of -1\frac{1}{3} is -\frac{3}{4} .

The multiplicative inverse of a number is also known as its reciprocal. It is a value that, when multiplied by the original number, gives a product of 1.

For a nonzero number "a," its multiplicative inverse or reciprocal, denoted as "\frac{1}{a}," is the number that satisfies the following equation:

a\cdot \frac{1}{a}=1

In other words, the multiplicative inverse of a number is the number that, when multiplied by the original number, results in the identity element for multiplication, which is 1.

The number -1\frac{1}{3} can be expressed as a fraction by converting the mixed number to an improper fraction:

-1\frac{1}{3}=-\frac{4}{3}

The multiplicative inverse (also called the reciprocal) of a number is found by inverting the fraction, and swapping the numerator and denominator:

Reciprocal of -\frac{4}{3} is -\frac{3}{4}

Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of -1\frac{1}{3} is -\frac{3}{4} .
