Question

The number n and −0.6 are additive inverses. Drag and drop −0.6 and n to their correct positions on the number line. Drag and drop the label “Sum” to the sum of −0.6 and n.

Answer 1

Additive inverse of -0.6 is negative of -0.6 that is 0.6

Number line is shown in image below.

Explanation:

Additive inverse of a number is a number added to that number to get 0 that is
`p+(-p)=0` thus, negative of the number is the additive inverse.

Here, given p = -0.6

Thus, additive inverse of -0.6 is negative of -0.6 that is 0.6 .

The correct position of -0.6
`=(-6)/(10)` and additive inverse 0.6
`=(6)/(10)` is marked on the number line shown below.

And the sum of -0.6 and 0.6 is

-0.6 +0.6 = 0

0 is also marked on number line below.
