Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the additive inverse of a number, you need to change the sign of the number.

The given number is -24 4/5 - 6 7/10. To change the sign of this number, you can multiply it by -1.

(-1) * (-24 4/5 - 6 7/10)

First, let's convert the whole numbers to fractions:
-24 = -24/1
-6 = -6/1

Now, we need to find a common denominator for 5 and 10, which is 10.

So, we have:
(-1) * (-24/1 - 56/10)

Next, let's find the least common denominator for 1 and 10, which is 10.

(-1) * (-240/10 - 56/10)

Now, we can subtract the fractions:
(-1) * (-296/10)

(-1) * (-29 6/10)

Finally, we can simplify the fraction:
-29 6/10 = -29 3/5

Therefore, the additive inverse of -24 4/5 - 6 7/10 is -29 3/5.

To find the additive inverse of a number, you just change the sign of the number.

First, let's convert -24 4/5 and -6 7/10 into improper fractions:

-24 4/5 = -24 * 5/5 + 4/5 = -120/5 + 4/5 = -116/5
-6 7/10 = -6 * 10/10 + 7/10 = -60/10 + 7/10 = -53/10

Now, we can find the additive inverse by changing the sign:

Additive inverse of -116/5: 116/5
Additive inverse of -53/10: 53/10

Therefore, the additive inverse of -24 4/5 is 116/5, and the additive inverse of -6 7/10 is 53/10.
