Question

which is lesser the reciprocal of minus 16 by 9 of the additive inverse of 14 by 15​

Answer 1

Answer:

Additive inverse of 14 by 15 is lesser

That is - 14 by 15

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$reciprocal \: of \: - \frac{16}{9 \: } is \: = - \frac{9}{16}$

$additive \: inverse \: of \: \frac{14}{15} \: is = - \frac{14}{15}$

$- \frac{9}{16} = - \frac{9}{16} \times \frac{15}{15} = - \frac{135}{240}$

-14/15 = -14/15 × 16/16 = -224/240

$- \frac{135}{240} > - \frac{224}{240}$

therefore -9/16 > - 14/15

-14/15 is lesser

i.e., additive inverse of 14/15 is lesser
