-15= 1/15 so the reciprocal should be 15/1 or positive 15.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

-15=-15/1 just flip -15/1 and get the reciprocal

OpenStudy (hellomynameiskam):

so its - 1/15 ?

Remember the "flip" step in the division of fractions? The mathematical name for flipping a fraction is writing the reciprocal of the fraction. To find the reciprocal of a fraction, all you do is flip the fraction. The sign stays the same. Examples: |dw:1447803749896:dw|
