The answer depends on whether you mean the multiplicative opposite, the additive opposite or another form of opposite. Since that is not specified, there can be no sensible answer.
On a die, the number opposite 4 is 3.
3
Well, honey, the opposite of a nonzero rational number is just its negative counterpart. So if you have a rational number like 3/4, the opposite would be -3/4. It's as simple as that, no need to overcomplicate things, darling.
Additive OppositeAn opposite of a number is the number with the opposite sign, but same absolute value.Basically, 3 has the opposite -3, -47's opposite is 47 (opposite of n is -n).Just take 0-(n) where n is the number in question (there is no opposite for 0).Usually it means the opposite sign -- if originally positive, the opposite is a negative; if originally negative, the opposite is positive.Multiplicative OppositeThe reciprocal of a number n is 1/n so that multiplication or division by a number is the inverse (division or multiplication) using its reciprocal.Example : 7 divided by 1/3 is equal to 7 times 3 = 21 (there are 21 one-thirds in 7).By itself, nothing. There are different meanings in different contexts.
The opposite of an even number is an odd number.
