The correct Answer is:
To find the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of the given rational numbers, we will follow the rule that states: the multiplicative inverse of a fraction \( \frac{a}{b} \) is \( \frac{b}{a} \). For whole numbers, we can express them as fractions by placing them over 1. Let's solve each part step by step: ### Step 1: Find the multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{13}{25} \) - The reciprocal is obtained by swapping the numerator and denominator. - So, the multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{13}{25} \) is \( \frac{25}{13} \). ### Step 2: Find the multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{-17}{12} \) - Again, swap the numerator and denominator. - The multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{-17}{12} \) is \( \frac{12}{-17} \) or simply \( -\frac{12}{17} \). ### Step 3: Find the multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{-7}{24} \) - Swap the numerator and denominator. - The multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{-7}{24} \) is \( \frac{24}{-7} \) or \( -\frac{24}{7} \). ### Step 4: Find the multiplicative inverse of \( 18 \) - Express \( 18 \) as \( \frac{18}{1} \). - The multiplicative inverse of \( 18 \) is \( \frac{1}{18} \). ### Step 5: Find the multiplicative inverse of \( -16 \) - Express \( -16 \) as \( \frac{-16}{1} \). - The multiplicative inverse of \( -16 \) is \( \frac{1}{-16} \) or simply \( -\frac{1}{16} \). ### Step 6: Find the multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{-3}{-5} \) - The negatives cancel out, so this simplifies to \( \frac{3}{5} \). - The multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{3}{5} \) is \( \frac{5}{3} \). ### Step 7: Find the multiplicative inverse of \( -1 \) - Express \( -1 \) as \( \frac{-1}{1} \). - The multiplicative inverse of \( -1 \) is \( \frac{1}{-1} \) or simply \( -1 \). ### Step 8: Find the multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{0}{2} \) - The fraction \( \frac{0}{2} \) equals \( 0 \). - The multiplicative inverse of \( 0 \) is undefined, as no number multiplied by \( 0 \) gives \( 1 \). ### Step 9: Find the multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{2}{-5} \) - Swap the numerator and denominator. - The multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{2}{-5} \) is \( \frac{-5}{2} \). ### Step 10: Find the multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{-1}{8} \) - Swap the numerator and denominator. - The multiplicative inverse of \( \frac{-1}{8} \) is \( \frac{8}{-1} \) or simply \( -8 \). ### Summary of Results: 1. \( \frac{13}{25} \) → \( \frac{25}{13} \) 2. \( \frac{-17}{12} \) → \( -\frac{12}{17} \) 3. \( \frac{-7}{24} \) → \( -\frac{24}{7} \) 4. \( 18 \) → \( \frac{1}{18} \) 5. \( -16 \) → \( -\frac{1}{16} \) 6. \( \frac{-3}{-5} \) → \( \frac{5}{3} \) 7. \( -1 \) → \( -1 \) 8. \( \frac{0}{2} \) → Undefined 9. \( \frac{2}{-5} \) → \( \frac{-5}{2} \) 10. \( \frac{-1}{8} \) → \( -8 \)
