Question

What is the additive inverse of 16 5/7

Answer 1

The additive inverse of a number is what u add to that number to get 0.
The additive inverse of a = -a.....so the additive inverse of 16 5/7 = -16 5/7

Answer 2

`-16(5)/(7)`

Explanation:

we know that

Two numbers are additive inverse if their sum is equal to zero

Let

x-------> the additive inverse of
`16(5)/(7)`

so

`x+16(5)/(7)=0`

solve for x

Subtract
`16(5)/(7)` both sides

`x+16(5)/(7)-16(5)/(7)=-16(5)/(7)`

`x=-16(5)/(7)` -------> additive inverse
