the reciprocal of 1 over 2, is 2. reciprocal just means you flip the numbers over, in this case it leaves 2 over 1 which is the same as 2 divided by 1 which is 2. for example the reciprocal of 10 is 1 over 10 and the reciprocal over 1 over 7 is 7.
Calculate 1 / 0.02 - that is the reciprocal of 0.02 (and 0.02 is the reciprocal of that number).
A reciprocal is of a number is 1/number.The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 = 0.5
The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 (or .5) and the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4, or .25.
Yes, numbers can have their own reciprocals. Whole numbers can be written as a fraction, like 4 as 4/1(four over one). Then, you would just flip it. It would become 1/4(one over four). You can do this with fractions.
No because for example the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2
2 and 4
the reciprocal of 1 over 2, is 2. reciprocal just means you flip the numbers over, in this case it leaves 2 over 1 which is the same as 2 divided by 1 which is 2. for example the reciprocal of 10 is 1 over 10 and the reciprocal over 1 over 7 is 7.
2/3 and 3/4 are not reciprocals
A reciprocal. x is the reciprocal of y means that x*y = 1 Also, if x is the reciprocal of y then y is the reciprocal of x.
1 is the only positive number that is its own reciprocal. -1 is the negative number that is its own reciprocal.
Calculate 1 / 0.02 - that is the reciprocal of 0.02 (and 0.02 is the reciprocal of that number).
A number's reciprocal could be called a multiplicative inverse.
A reciprocal is of a number is 1/number.The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 = 0.5
1 is the reciprocal of 1.
The product of -1 and -1 is 1. The reciprocal of a fraction is called its reciprocal.
In general: The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by interchanging the numerator and the denominator, i.e. by inverting the fraction.2/33/217/2424/17
