Answer:

-24, [tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

An opposite number or additive inverse of any number (n) is a number which, if added to n, results in 0. The opposite number for n is written as −n.

For 24, this is -24.

A multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number n, is a number which when multiplied by n, their product is 1. To find the multiplicative inverse of a real number, just divide 1 by that number.  The reciprocal for n is written as [tex]\frac{1}{n}[/tex] or [tex]n^{-1}[/tex].

For 24, this is [tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex].
