The inverse of a fraction is simple the result of flipping it's denominator with its numerator. It is equivalent to the statement

(x/y)^-1 = y/x

The inverse is like its opposite. It "undoes" whatever operation you had performed.

So if you have a number and you add 5 to it, the inverse would be to subtract 5 from the answer i.e. addition and subtraction are inverses of each other.
