Multiplicative inverse is for example x then its mutilpicative inverse is 1/x
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
because a number multiplied to its multiplicative inverse equals to 1..
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
So in your case teh multiplicative inverse is 9/5..
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

yes i think so the multiplicative inverse 9/5
additive inverse 5/9?
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
additive inverse for example 5 its additive inverse is -5
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
because the number + additive inverse =0
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
so 5/9+ x=0
x=-5/9
TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
not 5/9...

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
So your answer is C...
