You first convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. Example: what's the reciprocal of 3 2/5 (three and two-fifths)? Answer: 3 2/5 is equal to 17/5; the reciprocal of that is 5/17.
Why is this answer correct? That's because 5/17 times 17/5 is equal to 85/85 = 1. And that is the definition of "reciprocal".
You simply put the whole number over one making it a fraction then you flip the reciprocal and divide the two fractions insted of multiplying.
multiply by its reciprocol
The denominator
A fraction is a part of a whole. So is a decimal. A negative number is not.
Fractions cannot make holes! Numbers are abstract concepts, they do not have the ability to drill through solid objects.
It 4 in the hole
one over one
A hole is usually taken to be the absence of 1 so a hole and a half is a negative half or -1/2.
Every fraction that has the same value above and below the fraction line. 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, ...
your lucky if you do
A is the first two holes on the top covered and the bottom hole covered. B is the first hole on the top and on the bottom. C is the second hole ( not the first hole ) and the bottom hole.
Well first of all you might want to try spelling whole with a "W".
