5/2 To find the reciprocal, you flip the top (numerator) and bottom (denominator) of the fraction.
2 and 1/2 would be 5/2 the reciprocal of 5/2 would be 2/5
no "to reciprocal" is meaningless. If you mean can you take a reciprocal of a fraction, then the reciprocal of 5/97, for example, is 97/5 in just the same way that the reciprocal of 2 (think of 2/1) is 1/2.
21/2 = 5/2 ⇒ reciprocal of 21/2 = 1 ÷ 5/2 = 2/5
2 1 over 5 is 11/5. So, its reciprocal is 5/11
5/2 To find the reciprocal, you flip the top (numerator) and bottom (denominator) of the fraction.
the reciprocal of 2/5 is 5/2
Yes - after converting to an improper fraction, you flip it. Example: find the reciprocal (i.e., the multiplicative inverse) of 2 1/2 (two and a half). Reciprocal of (2 1/2) = reciprocal of (5/2) = 2/5.
2 and 1/2 would be 5/2 the reciprocal of 5/2 would be 2/5
The reciprocal of any integer n is equal to 1/n. In this instance, the reciprocal of 2 is equal to 1/2 or one half.
Write the original denominator as the new numerator, the original numerator as the new denominator, that is turn it upside down:the reciprocal of a/b is b/a;for example the reciprocal of 2/5 is 5/2.Invert it: eg reciprocal of 3/4 = 4/3
Quotient of the reciprocal of ten twentieths and five = Quotient of the reciprocal of 10/20 and 5 = Quotient of the reciprocal of 1/2 and 5 = Quotient of 2 and 5 = 2/5 or 0.4
no "to reciprocal" is meaningless. If you mean can you take a reciprocal of a fraction, then the reciprocal of 5/97, for example, is 97/5 in just the same way that the reciprocal of 2 (think of 2/1) is 1/2.
21/2 = 5/2 ⇒ reciprocal of 21/2 = 1 ÷ 5/2 = 2/5
To find the reciprocal of a fraction, you turn it upside down. So the reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1, or just 2.
The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 (or .5) and the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4, or .25.
Ah, what a happy little math question we have here! To find the reciprocal of a number, you simply flip it upside down. So, the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 and the reciprocal of 7 is 1/7. Remember, there are no mistakes in math, just happy little accidents!
