Question

Which of the following is the additive inverse of $\frac{-5}{6}$?

• A. $\frac{6}{5}$
• B. $\frac{1}{5}$
• C. $\frac{-1}{6}$
• D. $\frac{5}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{5}{6}$

Additive inverse of any number $x$ is a number which when added to $x$ gives resultant as zero (0).

So, let $x$ be the additive inverse of $\frac{7}{29}.$

$x+\left(\frac{-5}{6}\right)=0$

$x=\frac{5}{6}$

$\therefore \frac{5}{6}$ is the additive inverse of $\frac{-5}{6}.$
