उत्तर
The multiplicative inverse of `-1 1/7` is `underlinebb(7/(-8))`.
Explanation:
We know that, if the product of two rational numbers is 1, then they are multiplicative inverse of each other.
Given number is `-1 1/7`, i.e. `(-8)/7`.
Let the multiplication inverse of `(- 8)/7` be x.
⇒ `(-8)/7 xx x = 1`
⇒ `x = 1 xx ((-7)/8)` ...[By cross-multiplication]
= `(-7)/8` or `7/(-8)`
Hence, `(-7)/8` is the multiplicative inverse of `(-8)/7`.
