Question

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

iv. $\frac{-5}{1}$

Answer 1

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

$\therefore \text{Negative of}\frac{-5}{1}=-\left(\frac{-5}{1}\right)$
$=\frac{5}{1}=5$

Hence, the negative of $\frac{-5}{1}\text{is}5$.
