What is a reciprocal number?
The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by interchanging the numerator and the denomator, i.e. by inverting the fraction. So, the number 3 (which is 3/1) would have a reciprocal of 1/3 And the reciprocal of 1/3 would be 3/1 ... or 3.
What is the reciprocal of 2 and 1 over 3?
Oh, dude, the reciprocal of a number is just 1 divided by that number. So, the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2, and the reciprocal of 1/3 is 3. So, the reciprocal of 2 and 1/3 is 1/(2 + 1/3) which simplifies to 3/7. Easy peasy, like basic math stuff, you know?
Negative 3 is the reciprocal so what is the opposite of negative 3?
Actually the reciprocal of any number is that number in the denominator instead of in the numerator. The reciprocal of -3 is 1 over -3.
What type of problem do you use for a reciprocal?
Flip the numerator and denominator. For example, reciprocal of 3/2 is 2/3.
What is the reciprocal of 7 and 1 third?
The reciprocal of 7 1/3 is 3/22 or three twenty-secondths.
