The reciprocal is found as follows: \[\large (4\small \frac{2}{5})\large ^{-1}=\frac{1}{4\small \frac{2}{5}}\large=\frac{1}{\frac{22}{5}}=\frac{5}{22}\]

@harmonyy is correct when saying: "To get the reciprocal of a number, just divide 1 by the number" but then contradicted that by confirming 22/5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just multiply it out (22/5); then flip it The answer is 5/22
