B. $\frac{1}{24}$

C.$\frac{25}{1}$

Answer 1

A. Given fraction: $\frac{15}{16}$:
Reciprocal of the given fraction = $\frac{16}{15}$
$\frac{15}{16}÷\frac{16}{15}=\frac{15}{16}\times \frac{15}{16}$ = $\frac{225}{256}$

B. Given fraction: $\frac{1}{24}$
Reciprocal of the given fraction = 24
$\frac{1}{24}÷24=\frac{1}{24}\times \frac{1}{24}=\frac{1}{576}$

C. Given fraction: $\frac{25}{1}$
Reciprocal of the given fraction = $\frac{1}{25}$
$25÷\frac{1}{25}=25\times 25=625$
