Question

Write down the reciprocal of:

(i) $\frac{5}{8}$
(ii) 7
(iii) $\frac{1}{12}$
(iv) $12 \frac{3}{5}$

Open in App

Solution

(i) Reciprocal of $\frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{8}{5}$ [ ∵ $\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{8}{5} = 1$ ]

(ii) Reciprocal of 7 = $\frac{1}{7}$ [ ∵ $7 \times \frac{1}{7} = 1$ ]

(iii) Reciprocal of $\frac{1}{12}$ = 12 [ ∵ $\frac{1}{12} \times 12 = 1$ ]

(iv) Reciprocal of $12 \frac{3}{5}$ = Reciprocal of $\frac{63}{5}$ = $\frac{5}{63}$ [∵ $\frac{63}{5} \times \frac{5}{63} = 1$ ]
