OpenStudy (anonymous):
help
OpenStudy (amistre64):
without any context its hard to tell, but if your trying to turn it into an improper fraction ... then no.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@amistre64 Find the reciprocal of the number. Multiply to check your answer.
this is the question
OpenStudy (amistre64):
hmm, then we have to process 2 3/4 into an improper fraction, then flip it
keep in mine that \[2\frac34=2+\frac34\]
so what is: \(2+\frac34\) equal to?

@amistre64
OpenStudy (amistre64):
the answer is at the end, this is only 1 step of 2
OpenStudy (amistre64):
11/4 is equal to 2 3/4
now we can get the reciprocal, flip it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh so A

OpenStudy (amistre64):
are we looking at the same A ? it may be better to tell me what 11/4 looks like when we flip it over
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4/11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
C

i think it is B. @amistre64
OpenStudy (amistre64):
the reciprocal of x/y is y/x
the reciprocal of x/y is NOT -x/y
its not B
OpenStudy (amistre64):
so, if we take 1/5 what does it look like when we flip it over?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
D
OpenStudy (amistre64):
yes, 5/1 = 5 so D is it
