This is not so much a property as it is a postulate upon which other properties of mathematical calculations are based. In other words, it is a tenet, or building block, assumed to be true because it has yet to be proved untrue - that is, it works for all known numbers, and therefore must be true.

The equasion would be 10x 1/j = 5x1/9 (if j equals some number) so the answer would be j=18.

To get the reciprocal of any number, just divide 1 by that number. To check the result: the number times its reciprocal must equal 1.

The reciprocal property of multiplication says that (a/b) times (b/a) equals 1.
The equasion would be 10x 1/j = 5x1/9 (if j equals some number) so the answer would be j=18.
2/x =16/20 16x = 40 x = 2.5
The property is identity property of addition. This property states that any number plus 0 equals that number. identity property of multiplication states that any number times 1 equals that number.
Any number multiplied by its reciprocal equals one. Thus, 51 x 1/51 = 1.
identity property of mutipication or addition
*A+ answer is 4 .:Sandy:.
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.
