Let's call the number x, then the reciprocal is 1/x 3/x is three times the reciprocal and that equals two. So 3/x=2 or3=2x and means x=3/2 Check it x=3/2 reciprocal is 2/3 and 3x 2/3=2.

It is: 3/4 times 4/3 = 1 Any number times its reciprocal is 1.
One.
Let the number be x, then: 1/6 = 1/x - 1/3x = 3/3x - 1/3x = 2/3x = 1/6 but 1/6 = 2/12 → 2/3x = 2/12 → 3x = 12 → x = 4 The number is 4.
