$\frac{1}{4}$

Short answer

The required answer is $-\frac{1}{4}$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1- Determine the approach that can be used

The additive inverse for the provided number will be the same number with opposite sign.

– Determine the additive inverse 

Write the provided number with negative sign.

$-\frac{1}{4}$

Step 3- Make the conclusion

Determine the addition of provided number and obtained number.

$\frac{1}{4}+\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)=0$

As the addition of provided number and additive inverse result in 0 so obtained number is additive inverse.
