Why Is the product of a fraction and its multiplicative inverse 1?
The statement is true only for non-zero fractions and it follows from the definition of a multiplicative inverse.
Why does multiplying a reciprocal work in division fractions?
Because multiplication and division are inverse operations. And the reciprocal of a number is its multiplicative inverse.
What is an multiplicative inverse of -.50?
The multiplicative inverse is 1/(-0.50) = -2
How do you determine the multiplicative inverse of a number?
The multiplicative inverse of a number is its reciprocal, meaning the multiplicative inverse of the rational number a/b is b/a. In the specialized case for integers, the multiplicative inverse of n is 1/n. This is due to the fact that a/b * b/a = 1 and n * 1/n = 1, which is the definition of a multiplicative inverse. More succinctly, to find the multiplicative inverse you "flip" the fraction or integer around to its reciprocal. This is the number that when multiplied with the original number results in a product of 1.
Multiplicative inverse of a negative number?
The multiplicative inverse is the negative of the reciprocal of the positive value. Thus the multiplicative inverse of -7 is -1/7.
