Question

Find the reciprocal of $4\frac{5}{8}$.

Answer 1

Two Fractions are said to be reciprocals of each other if their product is $1$.

If $\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{b}}$is a fraction, then its reciprocal will be $\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}$as $\frac{\mathrm{a}}{b}\times \frac{\mathrm{b}}{a}=1$

We know that $4\frac{5}{8}=\frac{37}{8}$.

Thus, the reciprocal of $\frac{37}{8}$is $\frac{8}{37}$.

Hence the answer is $\frac{8}{37}$.
