The multiplication inverse of a number is always its?
The multiplicative inverse is also known as the reciprocal. The multiplicative inverse of a number "x" can be expressed as 1/x. In the case of a fraction, exchange numerator and denominator to get the multiplicative inverse.
How do you find the multiplicative inverse of mixed numbers?
change it to an improper fraction and then do it
What is zero product property?
Multiplicative Inverse of a NumberReciprocal The reciprocal of x is . In other words, a reciprocal is a fraction flipped upside down. Multiplicative inverse means the same thing as reciprocal. For example, the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of 12 is and the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of is . Note: The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1. Observe that ·= 1.

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.
How could you show the inverse operation?
By switching the fraction the opposite form.For example,5 thirds you switch them to 3 fifths.
You multiply by this when you divide by a fraction?
The inverse of the fraction.
Who found fraction and inverse fraction?

How can you divide by a fraction?
Multiply by its inverse.
What is the reverse order of a fraction?
This is call the "inverse" i.e if you have 13/2 the inverse would be 2/13 you can also call it reciprocated fraction ...
What is the multiplicative inverse of 3 4ths?
Taking the multiplicative inverse (or reciprocal) of a fraction is very easy: just exchange the numerator and the denominator. (Note: if you have a mixed fraction, convert it to an improper fraction first.)
What does inverse fraction mean?
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
Does every nonzero fraction has a multiplicative inverse?
Yes
What is the opposite of an improper fraction?
The answer depends on what you mean by "opposite". Many users mean additive inverse - in which case it is a negative improper fraction. Some use the term to refer to the multiplicative inverse, in which case it is a proper fraction.
What does the word inverse mean in math terms?
Mathematically, an inverse is an opposite, it is something that reverses what its inverse does, for example, addition and subtraction are inverse functions, as are multiplication and division. The inverse of a fraction is obtained by exchanging numerator and denominator; the inverse of a half is two.
How do you solve an algebraic equation with a fraction in it?
the fraction means for you to divide but if you are doing inverse operation, you are multiplying.
How do you find inverse function?
If its a fraction then we can change the numerators and denominators upside down .This is in case of fraction.
What is the multiplicative inverse of the fraction 1 over 5?
5.
