Question

Classify the following as true or false :

The reciprocal of a mixed fraction is a proper fraction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The reciprocal of a mixed fraction can be obtained by converting it into an improper fraction and then swapping the numerator and denominator.

Lets take an mixed fraction $3\frac{1}{2}$

$3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$

Now, reciprocal of $\frac{7}{2}$ is $\frac{2}{7}$, which is a proper fraction.

Hence, we can say that the above statement is true.
