Question

............ is the additive inverse of $\frac{-3}{11}.$

• A. $\frac{-3}{11}$
• B. $\frac{11}{3}$
• C. $-1$
• D. $\frac{3}{11}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$\frac{3}{11}$

In mathematics, the additive inverse of a number is the number that, when added to a, yields zero.

This number is also known as the opposite (number), sign change, and negation.

For a real number, it reverses its sign: the opposite to a positive number is negative, and the opposite to a negative number is positive.

The given rational number is $\frac{-3}{11}$ and its negative is $-\left(\frac{-3}{11}\right)=\frac{3}{11}$. Thus, the additive inverse of $\frac{-3}{11}$ is $\frac{3}{11}$.
