The reciprocal, or multiplicative inverse, of -1.7 is (-1.7)-1
In case you are not comfortable with exponents yet, another way to write the reciprocal is to swap the numerator of a fraction with the denominator.
So first convert -1.7 into a fraction, then "flip it upside down" by switching the number on top with the number on bottom.
The reciprocal of 17 = 1/ 17 = 0.05882352941176
The reciprocal of 6/17 is 17/6
the reciprocal would be negative 3 over 7, unless you are trying to find the negative reciprocal, then the answer would be positive 3 over 7. hope this helped you :)
1/17
aaa
2 3/7 = 17/7 so its reciprocal is 7/17
7 over 17
To find the reciprocal of anything, divide '1' by it.
reciprocal means make the top become the bottom and the bottom become the top. so 17/3 becomes 3/17
52/3 = 17/3 So the reciprocal is 3/17
The reciprocal of a number plus the reciprocal of twice the number equals Find the number. 1/2 find the number
You first convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. Example: what's the reciprocal of 3 2/5 (three and two-fifths)? Answer: 3 2/5 is equal to 17/5; the reciprocal of that is 5/17. Why is this answer correct? That's because 5/17 times 17/5 is equal to 85/85 = 1. And that is the definition of "reciprocal".
