what is a reciprocal ?

Question

anonymous · Answer

To find the reciprocal of a whole number, just turn it into a fraction in which the original number is the denominator and the numerator is 1. For example, the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2 (or 1-1/2) , because 2/3 x 3/2 = 1.

3/5 would be 5/3 ? @bmthcx04

anonymous · Answer

If you are given a variable "x", its reciprocal is "1/x".

Likewise, if you are given something more complicated like "x/y" then the reciprocal is just "y/x". In other words turn it upside down.
