Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplicative Inverse of rational number:

       When we multiply a rational number and its multiplicative inverse, we get 1

     [tex]\sf -5 \dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{-17}{3}[/tex]

  Now,multiply this with (3/-17)

          [tex]\sf \dfrac{-17}{3}*\dfrac{3}{-17} = 1[/tex]

So, -5 2/3  is the multiplicatice inverse of 3/-17
