Question

Write the additive inverse of each of the following: $\frac{2}{8}$ and $-\frac{5}{9}$

• A. $-\frac{2}{8};\frac{5}{9}$.
• B. $-\frac{1}{5};\frac{3}{5}$
• C. $\frac{1}{8};\frac{5}{9}$
• D. $\frac{1}{7};\frac{8}{9}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$-\frac{2}{8};\frac{5}{9}$.

The additive inverse of $\frac{2}{8}$ is $\left(\begin{array}{c}\frac{-2}{8}\end{array}\right)=\frac{-2}{8}$.
The additive inverse of $\frac{-5}{9}$ is $-\left(\begin{array}{c}\frac{-5}{9}\end{array}\right)=\frac{5}{9}$.
