Question

Write the additive inverse of : $\frac{2}{7}$

Answer 1

As we know that the additive inverse of any number $a$ is the number that when added to a will give us zero. Now, we need to find the number which should be added in $\frac{2}{7}$ and the result will be zero.

So, the additive inverse of $\frac{2}{7}$ is $-\frac{2}{7}$

Now, we will substitute the values in the above expression to verify,

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{2}{7}+(-\frac{2}{7})$

Thus, we get the $0$ as the result.

Hence the additive inverse is correct that is $\frac{2}{7}$
