The multiplicavitve Inverse of -5 is -1/5
The reciprocal of -1/5 is -5
The opposite of -5 is 5.
So whatever number you start with is, is the answer.

Well I can help you with the first part. the opposite of the inverse is the same number you already have your instance 4/5's reciprocal is 5/4 which the opposite would be what you already had 4/5
