    The multiplicative inverse is - 5/3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Multiplicative inverse means we want to end up with 1

    -3/5 * what = 1

    Multiply by 5 to clear the fraction

    -3/5 * what * 5 = 1*5

    -3 * what = 5

    Divide by - 3 to isolate what

    -3*what / -3 = 5/-3

    what = - 5/3

    The multiplicative inverse is - 5/3
