Question

Fill in the blanks:

(ii) $\frac{-5}{-12}+$ it's additive inverse = .............

Answer 1

Step: Find the additive inverse and their sum

We know that, additive inverse of $\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)$is $(-\frac{a}{b})$ and additive inverse of $(-\frac{a}{b})$ is $\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)$.

We have, $\frac{-5}{-12}=\frac{5}{12}$.

$\therefore$ Additive inverse of $\frac{5}{12}=-\frac{5}{12}$.

Sum = $\frac{5}{12}+(-\frac{5}{12})=0$.


Hence, the answer is 0.
