The reciprocal of any number x is equal to 1/x. In this case, x = -2/7. Therefore the reciprocal of -2/7 is: 1/(-2/7) Now to simplify remember that when you divide by a fraction, it is the same as multiplying by the same number except with the numerator and denominator flipped. In this case: 1/(-2/7) = 1*(-7/2) = -7/2 or -3.5
reciprocal of a negative is still a negative, and 2 and a quarter can be rewritten as 9/4. The reciprocal of this number is 4/9. Therefore, the reciprocal of -2 and a quarter is -4/9.
Seven and two sixes.
one slope is the negative reciprocal of the other
The solution to three minus negative one over two plus seven is 21/2. In decimal form, the solution is 10.5.
negative reciprocal slopes
It is -1/45, since from multiplying the two you get 1.
Seven minus negative two times negative 4 is equal to -1
-2 (negative two) The multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) for a number x is 1/x.
It is 2.
-2/5 ÷ 7/10 = -4/7
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
-77/14 - 24/14 = -101/14
