Question

What is the reciprocal of - 3/7?

Answer 1

The reciprocal of a number is the opposite. In fractions, it is simple to find the reciprocal. This is because you just need to flip the numerator and the denominator around. Get it? @Frozen15

Answer 2

A. -7/3
B. -3/7
C. 7/3
D. 3/7

I was thinking D since its negative to positive. I had to double check If I wasn't wrong. I understand the meaning but had just to be extra cautious of my answer :)

Answer 3

Well, the reciprocal of the number will remain negative if the original number is negative. Also, if you multiply a number by its reciprocal, the answer will always be 1.

Answer 4

Hmmmm. So would it stay -3/7 or just switch the numbers around (A)?

Answer 5
