the multiplicative inverse of %28%281%2F3%29x%2B5%29 and 1%2F3

%28%281%2F3%29x%2B5%29%2A%281%2F%28%281%2F3%29x%2B5%29%29%29=1
so, %281%2F%28%281%2F3%29x%2B5%29%29 is the multiplicative inverse of %28%281%2F3%29x%2B5%29
and %281%2F3%29%283%2F1%29=%281%2F3%293=3%2F3=1
so, 3 is the multiplicative inverse of 1%2F3
