Question

Additive inverse of $\frac{2}{3}$ is ______.

Answer 1

An additive inverse of a number is defined as the value, which on adding with the original number results in zero value. It is the value we add to a number to yield zero. Suppose, $a$is the original number, then its additive inverse will be minus of $a$ i.e., $-a$, such that;

$a+(-a)=a–a=0$

Given number $\frac{2}{3}$ is

Hence,

When we add $\frac{-2}{3}$ in$\frac{2}{3}$the result is zero.

$\frac{2}{3}+\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)=\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)–\frac{2}{3}=0$

Hence, the additive inverse of $\frac{2}{3}$ is $\frac{-2}{3}$..
