The reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divide by that number. A number, multiplied by its reciprocal, is equal to one.However, in the case of fractions, you can get the reciprocal simply by exchanging top and bottom. In this case, the reciprocal of 5/4 is 4/5.
This works for proper and improper fractions; in the case of a mixed fraction, you have to convert that into an improper fraction first.
5 over 8
The reciprocal is just the "flipped" version of the fraction. The reciprocal of -4/3 is -3/4 (negative three fourths).
The reciprocal of 1 over 4 is 4 over 1 because you flip the fraction and put the 4 on top and the 1 on the bottom and u have 4 over 1.
negative 6 over 5
5/21
5 over 8
to find the reciprocal you would want to make 2 3/4 an impropper fraction. To do that you need to multiply the whole number by the denominator. In this case the 2 by the 4. From that you get 8. Then you add that number to the numerator. So it would be 8+3=11. Put this number over 4 and you have 11/4. Then you can find the reciprocal which would be that number upside down. Your reciprocal is 4/11.
Five over seven. Pay more attention in school!
4/23
The reciprocal is just the "flipped" version of the fraction. The reciprocal of -4/3 is -3/4 (negative three fourths).
4 over 5
The reciprocal of 1 over 4 is 4 over 1 because you flip the fraction and put the 4 on top and the 1 on the bottom and u have 4 over 1.
Negitive 2 over five
negative 6 over 5
5/21
The reciprocal of 1 over 4 is 4 over 1. To get the reciprocal the numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator.
11 over 4
