Answer 1

The additive inverse of a number is what you can add to that number to get zero. For the number four-ninths (which is \( \frac{4}{9} \)), the additive inverse is its negative, which is:

\[
-\frac{4}{9} \text{ (or negative four-ninths)}
\]

So the correct response from your options would be:

–four-ninths
