How can you use a reciprocal change a division problem into a multiplication problem?
Division by a number is the same as multiplication by its reciprocal. That is, n / a = n * (1/a) and as you should know, (1/a) is the reciprocal of a.
Is the product of a nonzero number and its reciprocal is 0?
Let's say that the nonzero real number is n. Then the reciprocal would be (1/n). So the product is the following n*(1/n)=(n/n)=1 In conclusion the product of any nonzero real number and it's reciprocal is always 1.
The reciprocal of a number plus the reciprocal of twice the number equalshe reciprocal of a number plus the reciprocal of twice the number equals one half?
If the question contains a typing error and should read, "The reciprocal of a number plus the reciprocal of twice the number equals one half ?" Then let 'n' be the number.1/n + 1/2n = 1/2 : Multiply by 2n2 + 1 = n : n = 3NOTE : 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2The answer is 3.
What is N if 3 dot N equals 1?
If I understand the question correctly, then the answer is that N is the reciprocal of 3.
When you multiply the reciprocal what do you take to multiply it?
I am not sure about the question, but If 1/4 is a number then (1)/(1/4) which ends up being 4 is its reciprocal. Any number "N" has a reciprocal equal to 1/N and when you multiply the two as in N x 1/N, you will always get 1, that is a number multiplied by its reciprocal will always yield 1. Given one number you can find the other by dividing 1 by the given number
