Is the reciprocal of a fraction always a whole number explain?
No. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2
Can you convert fractions into a negative whole integer?
Yes, I can: multiply them by their negative reciprocal then the result will always be a negative whole number - the number -1. For example 5/8 → 5/8 × -8/5 = -1 However, if you mean by "convert" changing into an equivalent fraction, then only if they are the equivalent of a negative whole number can it be done. For example -8/2 = -4
How do you find the reciprocal of a whole number and a fraction?
Number x Reciprocal = 1 Therefore Reciprocal = 1/Number
How can you divide fractions by a whole number?

The numbers on the right of the point shows the parts/fractions. This number is not a whole number .098 This number is a whole number 2.00 This number has whole numbers and parts/fractions of the whole 2.098
What fractions or whole numbers are reciprocals?

Is the reciprocal of a fraction always a whole number?
No. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.
When is the reciprocal of a number greater than the number and when is it less than the number?
When a number is a fraction, the reciprocal will always be greater than the original number. When the original number is a whole number, the reciprocal will be a fraction, which is less than a whole number.

Does a reciprocal always equal a whole number?
If you multiply them, reciprocals always equal one.
What is the Reciprocal whole number?
There is no name other than a reciprocal whole number.
How do you multiply hole numbers and fractions?
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.
