The multiplicative inverse of -3 is -(1/3) or negative one-third.
The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number that you multiply it by to get a result of 1 (the multiplicative identity). So, since -3 times -(1/3) is 1, -(1/3) is the multiplicative inverse of -3.
Similarly, +3 is the ADDITIVE inverse of -3. The additive inverse of a number is the number you add to it to get a result of 0 (the additive identity). So, since -3 + (+3) = 0, +3 is the additive inverse of -3.
The original answer given here was that the multiplicative inverse of -3 is +3, which is flat incorrect.

What is the multiplicative inverse of negative 9?
-9; the multiplicative inverse: -1/9
What is the multiplicative inverse of negative 4 over 3?
Flip it upside down. Now you have negative three over four. That's your multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) -3/4
What is the multiplicative inverse of -0.25?
The multiplicative inverse of a number is the reciprocal of that number. In this case, the multiplicative inverse of -0.25 is -1 / -0.25, which simplifies to -4. This is because multiplying a number by its multiplicative inverse results in a product of 1, the multiplicative identity.
