Question

Classify the following as true or false :

The reciprocal of a proper fraction is a proper fraction

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Reciprocal is simply defined as the inverse of a value or a number.

If$n$ is a real number, then its reciprocal will be $\frac{1}{n}$

Lets take a proper fraction $=\frac{3}{5}$

Reciprocal of $\frac{3}{5}=\frac{5}{3}$, which is an improper fraction.

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