Answer 7

RECIPROCAL: it is simply 1/number
EXAMPLE:
the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 (a half)
MORE EXAMPLES:
5 = 1/5
20 = 1/20
1000 = 1/1000
LIKE TURNING THE NUMBER UPSIDE DOWN
-in fact, if you think that the whole number could be written as "number/1", then the reciprocal is just like "flipping it over"
EXAMPLES:
5 = 5/1 = 1/5
20 = 20/1 = 1/20
1000= 1000/1 = 1/1000
