Question

Write the additive inverse of each of the following.
$\left(i\right)\frac{-5}{9}$
$\left(ii\right)\frac{2}{8}$

Answer 1

An additive inverse of a number is defined as the value, which on adding with the original number results in zero value.

$\left(i\right)\frac{-5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}=0$
$\text{Additive inverse of}\frac{-5}{9}\text{is}\frac{5}{9}$.

$\left(ii\right)\frac{2}{8}+\frac{-2}{8}=0$
$\text{Additive inverse of}\frac{2}{8}\text{is}\frac{-2}{8}$.
