Question

What is the additive inverse of $\frac{2}{3}$?

• A. $\frac{3}{2}$
• B. 2
• C. $-\frac{2}{3}$
• D. 1

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$-\frac{2}{3}$

In general, additive inverse of a number of the form $\frac{a}{b}$ is given by $-\frac{a}{b}$.
i.e., if the sum of two numbers is zero, then they are additive inverse to each other.
Hence, the additive inverse of $\frac{2}{3}$ is $-\frac{2}{3}$.
