true. To find the reciprocal of a number, just " flip" it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but dont it have a mixed number?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

if you have to find the reciprocal of a mixed number, first turn it into an improper fraction, then " flip " it. Example : 2 1/2 = 5/2....reciprocal is 2/5 understand ?
