What is the reciprocal or multiplicative inverse of -13?
the reciprocal (aka multiplicative inverse) of a number is 1/number, so the reciprocal of -13 is -1/13 (I moved the negative from the 13 to the 1 as per convention, 1/-13 = -1/13). The reciprocal of any number is what you have to multiply that number by to yield 1. -13 * -1/13 = (-13*-1)/13 = 13/13 = 1
What is the reciprocal of 4 and 1 over 3?
The reciprocal of 41/3 = 13/3 is 3/13.
What is the reciprocal of 2 and 3 over 5?
52/3 = 17/3 So the reciprocal is 3/17
How do you find a reciprocal?
A reciprocal is the number you must multiply another number by to get the product of 1. The reciprocal of 4 (which is the same as 4/1) is 1/4. The reciprocal of 3/8 is 8/3. The reciprocal of 13 is 1/13.This can also be expressed using exponents. The reciprocal of any value x is equal to x-1. So the reciprocal of a/b is (a/b)-1, which is equal to b/a.To find a reciprocal, put the number under one. If it is a fraction, flip the fraction. Whatever the reciprocal is, remember that it must always multiply to one with the original number.
What is theReciprocal of two and three fifths?
A reciprocal (in mathematics) is the multiplicative inverse of any given number.This means the reciprocal of "1/x" would be "x/1".In the case where you have a mixed fraction like "two and three fifths", convert the mixed fraction into a improper fraction to make things easier.2 and 3/5 = 13/5Now flip the fraction:13/5 reciprocated = 5/13.Therefore, the reciprocal of "two and three fifths" is "thirteen fifths (13/5)"
