To find the additive inverse of a number, we need to change the sign of the number.
So, the additive inverse of −24 4/5 is 24 4/5.
Adding this to −6 7/10:
−24 4/5 + (−6 7/10) = −24 4/5 − 6 7/10 = −31 1/2
Therefore, the answer is −31 1/2.
To find the additive inverse, we need to change the sign of the given number.
The given number is -24 4/5 - 6 7/10.
If we change the sign of this number, it becomes positive.
Therefore, the additive inverse of -24 4/5 - 6 7/10 is 24 4/5 + 6 7/10.
