Question

How to find the reciprocal of $-\frac{1}{3}$.

Answer 1

Find the reciprocal:

The reciprocal of $\frac{\mathbf{x}}{\mathbf{y}}$ is $\frac{\mathbf{y}}{\mathbf{x}}$

Given, $-\frac{1}{3}$

Here $x=-1,y=3$

Therefore the reciprocal of $-\frac{1}{3}$ is $-3$

Hence, the reciprocal of $\mathbf{-}\frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{3}}$ is $\mathbf{-}\mathbf{3}$
