How do you turn 5 and three sevenths into a multiplicative and a additive inverse?

First convert it into an improper fraction: 5 3/7 becomes 38/7. This is clear because "5" is simply "35/7" (do the math yourself) and 35/7 + 3/7 = 38/7. Additive inverse means "negative." Thus, the "additive inverse" of 38/7 is -38/7. This is true because 38/7 added to -38/7 is 0. That is the definition of an additive inverse. Multiplicative inverse means "reciprocal." Thus, the "multiplicative inverse" of 38/7 is 7/38. This is true because 38/7 multiplied by 7/38 is 266/266, or 1. That is the definition of multiplicative inverse.


How do you use additive inverse in the real world?

The additive inverse is used to solve equations; equations, in turn, are used to model many real-world situations.


How could you turn any fraction into one using a single multiplication operation?

A fraction can be expressed as two expressions, a and b, in the form a/b. The multiplicative inverse is b/a. Just flip the numerator and denominator. Multiplying the original and the result of this always gives one, which is the definition of the multiplicative inverse.


What is the definition of multiplicitive inverse?

The definition of an multipilicative inverse is a number that's times by the known number to attain a product of one. To find the multiplicative inverse is the same thing as the recipricol of the number. To find the multiplicitive inverse or recipricol of a number, first turn the number into a fraction, then switch the numerator and denominator around. The result is your multiplicitive inverse.


Does y plus -y 0 show the inverse property of addition?

Yes, that's what we mean by "-y" or "negative y" -- it's the additive inverse of y. -y is defined as the number which, when added to y, gives zero. y + -y = 0 (Zero, in turn, is defined as the additive identity -- the number which, when added to x, gives x.)


Can you turn a subtraction problem into an addition problem?

Yes, since adding a minus is the same as subtracting a plus; for example 5 - 3 = 2 5 - (+3) = 2 5 + (-3) = 2

When you divide one fraction and another why do you have to turn it into a reciprocal?

To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal. This is related to the facts that (1) division is the opposite of multiplication, and (2) a reciprocal is the multiplicative "opposite" of a number.


Why do salt pellets turn blue?

The blue color comes from an additive that keeps evaporated salt free flowing. Normally this food grade additive would appear colorless to yellow. When the substance comes in contact with iron sulfate or dissolved iron in some hard waters, it turns blue. Not all pellets contain this additive and thus do not change color.
