If the fraction is already improper, then all that is needed is to make the numerator the denominator and make the denominator the numerator. Using the property of multiplicative reciprocals, any number times its reciprocal must equal 1. With fractions, in multiplication the numerator and denominator between the reciprocals any which way (den. of 1st and num. of 2nd, or den. of 2nd and num. of 1st) can cancel out.

When you cange a mixed number into an improper fraction to find themultiplicative inverse do you still flip it?

Yes - after converting to an improper fraction, you flip it. Example: find the reciprocal (i.e., the multiplicative inverse) of 2 1/2 (two and a half). Reciprocal of (2 1/2) = reciprocal of (5/2) = 2/5.
