Question

Multiply the additive inverse of (-7/8) by the reciprocal of (5 1/2)​

PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

`\bold {$(7)/(44)$}`

Explanation:

Reciprocal:

`\sf \text{The reciprocal of any number $(a)/(b)$ is given by $(b)/(a)$}\\\\5(1)/(2)=(11)/(2)\\\\\text{Reciprocal of $(11)/(2)$ = $(2)/(11)$}`

Additive inverse:

`\text{Additive inverse of $(-7)/(8)$=$(7)/(8)$}`

Now multiply,

`\sf (7)/(8)*(2)/(11)=(7)/(4)*(1)/(11)\\`

`=(7)/(44)`
