Mixed fraction, I suppose. Convert the fraction to an improper fraction, and then take the reciprocal by exchanging numerator and denominator.
Example: Calculate the reciprocal of 2 1/3 (two and one-third)
1 / (2 1/3) = 1 / (7/3) = 3/7

turn the fraction upside down and multiplyConvert the mixed number to an improper fraction and multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction.
The reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divide by that number. A number, multiplied by its reciprocal, is equal to one.However, in the case of fractions, you can get the reciprocal simply by exchanging top and bottom. In this case, the reciprocal of 5/4 is 4/5. This works for proper and improper fractions; in the case of a mixed fraction, you have to convert that into an improper fraction first.
