Use the Inverse Property to find the number that makes the mathematical statement - 5 7 *[?]= 1 true.

Question

7/8

5/7

- 5/7

- 7/5

Answer 1

To use the Inverse Property to find the number that makes the statement true, we need to find the multiplicative inverse of -5/7.

The multiplicative inverse of a number is found by flipping it and changing the sign.

So, the multiplicative inverse of -5/7 is (-7/5).

Therefore, (-7/5) is the number that makes the statement -5 * 7 * (-7/5) = 1 true.
