-5/6

An additive inverse is the opposite of a number. This means that the sum of a number and its additive inverse equals 0.
So for this problem, the opposite of -(5/6) is (5/6). We can check this by adding them and seeing if the sum equals 0:
-(5/6) + (5/6) = 0
So your answer is (5/6).
Now the multiplicative inverse is the reciprocal. A reciprocal is a fraction flipped upside down.
So in this problem, the multiplicative inverse of -(5/6) is -(6/5).
