Question

Find the reciprocal of each number 1. 2/3. 2. 1/7. 3. 4

Answer 1

bear in mind that a reciprocal is just the same thing, upside-down

`\bf \cfrac{2}{3}\implies \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{3}{2}}~\hfill \cfrac{1}{7}\implies \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{7}{1}}\implies 7~\hfill 4\implies \cfrac{4}{1}\implies \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{4}} \\\\\\ ~\hspace{34em}`

Answer 2

Reciprocal of 2 / 3 = 3 / 2

Reciprocal of 1 / 7 = 7 / 1 = 1

Reciprocal of 4 = 1 / 4
