Question

The additive inverse of $\frac{-3}{5}$ is ________

• A. $\frac{-3}{5}$
• B. $\frac{5}{3}$
• C. $\frac{3}{5}$
• D. $\frac{-5}{3}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{3}{5}$

We know that for any real number $a$, the additive number inverse is given by $-a$ such that $a+(-a)=0.$

As, $\frac{-3}{5}+\frac{3}{5}=0$

Then additive inverse of $\frac{-3}{5}$ is $\frac{3}{5}$.

Hence, option $C$ is correct.
