Question

Write the negative (additive inverse) of each of the following:

(i)$\frac{-2}{5}$

Answer 1

We know that,
The negative or additive inverse of rational number $\frac{a}{b}$ is $-\frac{a}{b}$ such that $\frac{a}{b}+(-\frac{a}{b})=0$

$\therefore$ Negative of $\frac{-2}{5}=-\left(\frac{-2}{5}\right)$
$=\frac{2}{5}$

Hence, the negative of $\frac{-2}{5}$ is $\frac{2}{5}$.
