Answer 4

You can find the reciprocal of any number by dividing it into 1, such as...

For any number n (whether it's a fraction, or decimal, or w/e)

The reciprocal of n is \[\large \frac{ 1 }{ n }\]

So if n = 0.125, then 1/n = 1/0.125

If n = 2.5, then 1/n = 1/2.5

If n = 1.25, then 1/n = 1/1.25
