two thirds because you multiply by the reciprocal of three tenths which is ten thirds
The reciprocal of a number is the multiplicative inverse of that number. The reciprocal of two thirds is three halves (1 divided by 2/3 is the same as 1 multiplied by 3/2). Therefore, the product of two thirds and its reciprocal (three halves) is 1.

Reciprocal of 3 is 1/3 Reciprocal of 35 is 1/35. Reciprocal of x is 1/x. Reciprocal of 1/3 is 3. Reciprocal of 1/x is x. It is the inverse of a number.
The reciprocal of 1/3 is 3/1 = 3.
it's 2 and 3/2 22/3 = 8/3 and therefore the reciprocal = 3/8
two thirds because you multiply by the reciprocal of three tenths which is ten thirds
For example, the reciprocal of 3 is 1/3. Two numbers are reciprocals (each is the reciprocal of the other) if their product is 1.
it is three fourths * * * * * No it is not. 12/3 = 5/3 and its reciprocal is 3/5
Let's call the number x, then the reciprocal is 1/x 3/x is three times the reciprocal and that equals two. So 3/x=2 or3=2x and means x=3/2 Check it x=3/2 reciprocal is 2/3 and 3x 2/3=2.
3/2 or 1.5
The reciprocal of 1/5 would be 5/1, or simply just 5.
The reciprocal of a number is the multiplicative inverse of that number. The reciprocal of two thirds is three halves (1 divided by 2/3 is the same as 1 multiplied by 3/2). Therefore, the product of two thirds and its reciprocal (three halves) is 1.

It is 2.
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. In this instance, 2/3 / 1/5 = 2/3 x 5 = 10/3 or ten thirds. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 3.3 recurring (that is, 3.3333...)
