Answer 1

Reciprocal of a fraction

A reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by inverting it upside down. In other words it is obtained by interchanging the positions of numerator and denominator in a fraction.

Example: Let $\frac{3}{4}$ be the fraction, then for obtaining its reciprocal, numerator and denominator are interchanged.

Reciprocal of $\frac{3}{4}$$=\frac{4}{3}$

The reciprocal is also known as multiplicative inverse.

Therefore, the reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by interchanging the numerator and denominator.
