The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 (or .5) and the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4, or .25.
The reciprocal of 4(2/3) = 8/3 is 3/8 because the reciprocal is the inverse of the original number
Another term for a reciprocal is a multiplicative inverse(1 divided by the number).Examples:4 times its reciprocal 1/4 = 1When 2 x 4 = 8, 2 x 4 x 1/4 = 2 again
The reciprocal of 14/5 is 5/14.
The reciprocal of the mixed number 4 2/5 is 5/22 The number 4 2/5 becomes (4 x 5) + 2 /5 = 22/5
A reciprocal is 1 divided by a number. So, the reciprocal of x is 1/x. For example: The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 is 0.5 The reciprocal of 9 is 1/9 is 0.111111111111 The reciprocal of 0.5 is 1/0.5 is 2. To divide one by a number is called 'taking the reciprocal.' If you have a fraction, taking the reciprocal is fairly easy: simply 'flip' it. I.e., put the numerator in the denominator, and the denominator in the numerator. For example: The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2 The reciprocal of 7/8 is 8/7 The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4 (/1). The technical mathematical definition of the reciprocal of x is: "The number which, when multiplied by x, gives one."
3/4 . Its reciprocal is 4/3. You just turn the fraction over. For a whole such '2' its reciprocal is '1/2'.
The reciprocal of 4(2/3) = 8/3 is 3/8 because the reciprocal is the inverse of the original number
A negative exponent is the same as the reciprocal of the number with a positive exponent.Thus 2^(-4) is the reciprocal of 2^4. Now 2^4 = 16 and the reciprocal of 16 is 1/16 so 2^-4 = 1/(2^4) = 1/16 = 0.0625
Another term for a reciprocal is a multiplicative inverse(1 divided by the number).Examples:4 times its reciprocal 1/4 = 1When 2 x 4 = 8, 2 x 4 x 1/4 = 2 again
reciprocal of a negative is still a negative, and 2 and a quarter can be rewritten as 9/4. The reciprocal of this number is 4/9. Therefore, the reciprocal of -2 and a quarter is -4/9.
The reciprocal of 14/5 is 5/14.
The reciprocal of 18/7 is 7/18.
The reciprocal of the mixed number 4 2/5 is 5/22 The number 4 2/5 becomes (4 x 5) + 2 /5 = 22/5

1/4 is the reciprocal of 4.
1/2
The reciprocal of 4.2, or 4 2/5, is 5 over 22. (5/22.)
