How Can I Make Fractions Into Multiplacative and Additive Inverses?

-5/10, 13/6, -4/1Please Explain how to give these fractions a multiplicative and additive inverse! Help!

Answer:

multiplicative inverse is the same as reciprocal. It is what you multiply the fraction by to get 1. -5/10 ---- -10/5 13/6 ---- 6/13 -4/1 ---- -1/4 additive inverse is what you add to get 0, so basically it is just the opposite sign: -5/10 ---- +5/10 13/6 ---- -13/6 -4/1 ---- +4/1 that's it! ;)
