5/4
The reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by that number. To find the reciprocal of 1 and two fifths, you first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, which is 7/5. Then, you take the reciprocal by dividing 1 by 7/5, which is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of 7/5, which is 5/7. Therefore, the reciprocal of 1 and two fifths is 5/7.
short answer 4. can explain if needed.
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)"
Expressed as a top-heavy fraction, 4/5-1 = 5/4
