Do you know what a recipricol is?

NO

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ totally misspelled

OpenStudy (sierra!):

XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The reciprocal is the flip of a fraction. Take 5 and 2/3 and convert it so the 5 is on the numerator. Youll get 17/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Flip 17/3.

OpenStudy (sierra!):

Thanks

OpenStudy (sierra!):

is that correct everyone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all u have to do is find the improper fraction then flip

OpenStudy (sierra!):

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 17 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand what @YesThisIsDog did? If you have 5 and 2/3, multiply 3 and 5 to get fifteen. NOW add the two to get 17 and keep the original base. 17/3. NOW flip the fraction to get 3/17. Make sense?
