What is the product of the additive inverse of -0.8 and the multiplicative inverse of 0.2?

Answer : 
We know additive inverse of a number that gives 0 after addition. 

So,  

Let , â€‹additive inverse = y  , So 

y +0.8 = 0 y = 0 - 0.8 y =  - 0.8 


And 

We know multiplicative inverse of a number that gives 1 after multiplication  . 

So,  

Let , â€‹multiplicative inverse = x  , So 

x × 0.2 = 1 x = 10.2x = 10.2×1010x = 102x =5

So, 

product of the multiplicative inverse and the additive inverse = -0.8×5 = - 4                                      ( Ans )
