No it is not.
12/3 = 5/3 and its reciprocal is 3/5
You make it an improper fraction and switch the bottom and top numbers
42/7 is an improper fraction.
To find the reciprocal of a fraction, you turn it upside down. So the reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1, or just 2.
To find the reciprocal of a whole number, you must first write it as a fraction. You do this by writing x/1, if the number is 4, it would be 4/1. Then you would find the reciprocal of that fraction. So using the same example, the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.
the reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by the number. if you want to find the reciprocal of a fraction you would need to swap the fraction numbers around and then multiply by 1. and then divide the answer.It is 1 divided by the number.

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.
It is called the reciprocal of a fraction when the fraction is turned upside down.To find reciprocal of a mixed number, convert the whole number to the fraction and create an improper fraction: 22/4 becomes 10/4 and the reciprocal is 4/10
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, exchange the numerator and denominator.
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
The reciprocal of the fraction is simply the fraction raised to the -1 power. Simply "flip the fraction upside down" to find the reciprocal. e.g. 3/23 has a reciprocal of 23/3.
To change an improper fraction to a proper fraction a person has to find the lowest common denominator. For example, the fraction 3/6 can be broken down to 1/2 by dividing the 6 by the 3 and finding the common denominator to be 2.
The answer depends on the binary operator between the two fractions which has not been specified.
1/3. The fraction for 3 is 3/1, and to find a reciprocal, you have to flip the fraction.
It is an improper fraction when the numerator is greater than the denominator
To find the reciprocal of 3 2/5, you would have to change that to an improper fraction, then make the denominator the numerator. (Ex. 3/4---4/3 OR 4/3---3/4)
42/7 is an improper fraction.
