Solution

To determine if two numbers are multiplicative inverses, we need to multiply them together. If the result is 1, then they are multiplicative inverses.

Let's break down the numbers:

The first number is 8/7 - 6/3 = 8/7 - 2 = 2/7.

The second number is 12/9 - 52/52 = 4/3 - 1 = 1/3.

Now, let's multiply these two numbers together:

(2/7) * (1/3) = 2/21 = 0.09523809523809523.

Since the result is not 1, the two numbers are not multiplicative inverses.
