Question

Which of the following numbers is the additive inverse of $\frac{7}{29}$ ?

• A. $\frac{29}{7}$
• B. $\frac{-29}{7}$
• C. $\frac{-7}{29}$
• D. $\frac{7}{29}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{-7}{29}$

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 $\frac{7}{29}.$

$x+\left(\frac{7}{29}\right)=0$

$x=\frac{-7}{29}$

$\therefore \frac{-7}{29}$ is the additive inverse of $\frac{7}{29}.$
