reciprocal means 1/9 will be 9/1 

you just switch the fractions around

anonymous · Answer

aha thanks for the information

anonymous · Answer

let the first integer is x 
and the second integer is x+1

anonymous · Answer

then $$\frac{ 1 }{ x }+\frac{ 1 }{ x+1 }=\frac{ 9 }{ 20 }$$

anonymous · Answer

5 + 4 = 9
reciprocals : 1/5 + 1/4 = 4/20 + 5/20 = 9/20

anonymous · Answer

that's true but u have to show how to find them

anonymous · Answer

oh.....I did the reciprocals first....then did the numbers. I had to find 2 numbers who's common denominator was 20. I guess I did it backwards

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer
