What is the multiplicative inverse of
1 7/43
To find the multiplicative inverse, also known as the reciprocal, of a number, you need to divide 1 by that number. In this case, you want to find the multiplicative inverse of 6 1/7.
Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
To do this, multiply the whole number (6) by the denominator of the fraction (7), then add the numerator (1). This gives you 6 * 7 + 1 = 42 + 1 = 43. Therefore, 6 1/7 is equivalent to the improper fraction 43/7.
Step 2: Take the reciprocal of the improper fraction.
To find the reciprocal, swap the numerator and the denominator. That means the reciprocal of 43/7 is 7/43.
So, the multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of 6 1/7 is 7/43. Therefore, your answer of 16 is incorrect.
