3/12 = 1/4
numerator is 8 denominator is 12
Convert the fraction to equivalent fractions with the same denominator, then the numerators can be subtracted: 11/12 - 3/20 = 55/60 - 9/60 = 46/60 = 23/30

The reciprocal of a fraction is basically the same fraction flip-flopped. So the numerator becomes the denominator, and the denominator becomes the denominator. So for seven over three, the reciprocal would be three over seven.
