Answer 1

To find the additive inverse of a number or expression, you simply change the sign of the number or expression.

In this case, the expression is −24 4/5−6 7/10.

To find the additive inverse, we change the sign of each term in the expression:

− (-24 4/5) - (-6 7/10)

Simplifying each term individually, we get:

24 4/5 + 6 7/10

Now, we can add the two fractions:

(24 + 6) + (4/5 + 7/10)

30 + (8/10 + 7/10)

30 + 15/10

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

30 + 1 5/10

Now, we can add the whole numbers and the fractions separately:

30 + 1 5/10 = 31 + 1/2

So, the answer is 31 1/2.
