three- fourths

Explanation:

The opposite, or additive inverse, of a number is the same distance from 0 on a number line as the original number, but on the other side of 0. Zero is its own additive inverse. In other words, the additive inverse of a rational number is the same number with opposite sign.

Three-fourths.

Explanation:

The additive inverse produces a zero result:

-0.75 + 0.75 = 0

so it is 0.75 or 3/4.
