What is the reciprocal of 2 1 over 5?
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction then the reciprocal can be found: 1/(2 1/5) = 1/((5×2+1)/5) = 1/(11/5) = 5/11
What is the reciprocal of 3 over 5 as a fraction?
The reciprocal of a fraction is formed by turning it upside down. The reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3 which can also be written as the mixed number 1 2/3
What is the reciprocal of 3 in a fraction?
The reciprocal of any number is one over that number. Here's some examples and their reciprocals: 3 : 1/3 5 : 1/5 1/2 : 1/ (1/2) = 2 The reciprocal of 3 is 1/3 (one third).
What is the reciprocal of 7 over 2?
The answer is: 2/7 More information from "http://en.allexperts.com/q/Basic-Math-657/reciprocal.htm": A reciprocal is a number that you multiply by so that the result equals 1. The easiest way to find it is to just flip the fraction over. Here's an example: What is the reciprocal of 3? 3 is the same as 3/1, so we flip and the reciprocal is 1/3 Reciprocal of 4/5 is 5/4 Reciprocal of 2 1/2? Trciky! Change to a fraction --> 5/2, then flip --> 2/5
What does reciprocal mean in math?
A reciprocal is 1 divided by a number. So, the reciprocal of x is 1/x. For example: The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 is 0.5 The reciprocal of 9 is 1/9 is 0.111111111111 The reciprocal of 0.5 is 1/0.5 is 2. To divide one by a number is called 'taking the reciprocal.' If you have a fraction, taking the reciprocal is fairly easy: simply 'flip' it. I.e., put the numerator in the denominator, and the denominator in the numerator. For example: The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2 The reciprocal of 7/8 is 8/7 The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4 (/1). The technical mathematical definition of the reciprocal of x is: "The number which, when multiplied by x, gives one."
What is another name for a flipped fraction?
A 'flipped' fraction is correctly named as a Reciprocal. e.g. 2 . The reciprocal is 1/2 The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2.
What fraction in simplest form is four-ninths of its reciprocal?
The fraction is 2/3.
How do you find the reciprocal of onehalf?
To find the reciprocal of a fraction, you turn it upside down. So the reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1, or just 2.
What fraction has a reciprocal that is 4 times its value?
The fraction is 1/2. (or more generally, +/- one half) Where a ratio is given between the reciprocal and the fraction, the reciprocal (and denominator of the fraction) is the square root of the ratio. 1/x = 4x 1 = 4x2 4x2 = 1 x2 = 1/4 x = 1/2 (or -1/2)
Do you have to reciprocal with fractions?
no "to reciprocal" is meaningless. If you mean can you take a reciprocal of a fraction, then the reciprocal of 5/97, for example, is 97/5 in just the same way that the reciprocal of 2 (think of 2/1) is 1/2.
What is a reciprocal fraction?
A reciprocal fraction is when you take the entire fraction to the -1st power, essentially having one be divided by whatever fraction you chose--in other, more simpler words, just flip the numerator and denominator.So the reciprocal of 2/3 would be 3/2, of 5/107 107/5. The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 because although 2 isn't a fraction, we can make it a fraction by rewriting it as 2/1.
What is reciprocal in a mixed?
Mixed fraction, I suppose. Convert the fraction to an improper fraction, and then take the reciprocal by exchanging numerator and denominator. Example: Calculate the reciprocal of 2 1/3 (two and one-third) 1 / (2 1/3) = 1 / (7/3) = 3/7
What is the reciprocal of a real number?
The reciprocal of a number is one divided by the number. The product of a number and its reciprocal equals one.The easiest way to get the reciprocal of a number is to put the number in the form of a fraction then swap the numerator with the denominator.The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.The reciprocal of 123/5564 is 5564/123.The reciprocal of 1/5 is 5.The reciprocal of 73 is 1/73.The reciprocal of x is 1/x.
How does multiplicative inverse work?
A Multiplicative inverse is when you have a fraction and you do the reciprocal (you flip the fraction) to get an answer of one. Example: 1/2 and the reciprocal would be 2/1 your answer would be = 1 1/2 x 2/1= 1 hope I helped :)
What is the reciprical of 19 divided by 2?
A reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by the number. 19/2 = 9.5 : The reciprocal is therefore 1/9.5 = 0.1053 (4dp) BUT 1 ÷ 19/2 = 2/19 = 0.1053 (4dp) The reciprocal of a number expressed as a fraction is the inverse of that fraction.
When do you take the reciprocal of a fraction?
You take the reciprocal of a fraction when you want to invert the numerator and the denominator. The reciprocal of a fraction is found by flipping the fraction upside down. For example, the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.
When you divide one fraction and another why do you have to turn it into a reciprocal?
To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal. This is related to the facts that (1) division is the opposite of multiplication, and (2) a reciprocal is the multiplicative "opposite" of a number.
