The correct Answer is:
To find the additive inverse of a rational number, we need to remember that the additive inverse of a number \( a \) is \( -a \). This means that when we add a number and its additive inverse, the result is always zero. Let's solve the given question step by step: ### Step 1: Find the additive inverse of \( \frac{6}{11} \) 1. Identify the number: \( \frac{6}{11} \). 2. Apply the formula for the additive inverse: \[ \text{Additive Inverse} = -\left(\frac{6}{11}\right) \] 3. Therefore, the additive inverse of \( \frac{6}{11} \) is: \[ -\frac{6}{11} \] ### Step 2: Find the additive inverse of \( -\frac{11}{8} \) 1. Identify the number: \( -\frac{11}{8} \). 2. Apply the formula for the additive inverse: \[ \text{Additive Inverse} = -\left(-\frac{11}{8}\right) \] 3. Since the negative of a negative number is positive, we have: \[ -\left(-\frac{11}{8}\right) = \frac{11}{8} \] 4. Therefore, the additive inverse of \( -\frac{11}{8} \) is: \[ \frac{11}{8} \] ### Final Answers: - The additive inverse of \( \frac{6}{11} \) is \( -\frac{6}{11} \). - The additive inverse of \( -\frac{11}{8} \) is \( \frac{11}{8} \). ---
