Question

What is the reciprocal of $\small 8$ multiplied by the reciprocal of $\small \small $\frac{3}{2}$$ ?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To find the reciprocal of a fraction, we simply need to switch the numerator and the denominator: for example, the reciprocal of a fraction $\small $\frac{a}{b}$$ is $\small $\frac{b}{a}$$ .

With integers, it helps to remember that all integers are really fractions with a denominator of $\small 1$ :

$\small 4=\frac{4}{1}$$ , $\small 2=\frac{2}{1}$$ , and $\small 17=\frac{17}{1}$$

The reciprocals of these numbers are $\small $\frac{1}{4}$, $\frac{1}{2}$,$ and $\small $\frac{1}{17}$$ respectively.

Therefore, to solve the problem, we first need to find the reciprocals of $\small 8$ and $\small $\frac{3}{2}$$ . If we keep in mind that $\small 8=\frac{8}{1}$$ , we can determine that the reciprocals are $\small $\frac{1}{8}$$ and $\small $\frac{2}{3}$$ , respectively. The product of these two numbers is:

$\small $\frac{1}{8}$\times$\frac{2}{3}$=\frac{1\times2}{8\times3}$=\frac{2}{24}$=\frac{1}{12}$$

$\small $\frac{1}{12}$$ is our final answer.

Question

What is the sum of the reciprocal of $\frac{1}{4}$ and ?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To find the reciprocal of a fraction, flip the numerator and the denominator.

Thus, the reciprocal of $\frac{1}{4}$ is $$\frac{4}{1}$=4$ .

Then we need to find the sum of 4 and 7, which is 11.

Answer

We will need to rewrite this in order to eliminate the negative exponent in the problem.

Because the denominator has a negative exponent, that is the same as having a positive exponent in the numerator. Therefore we can rewrite the problem as follows and then multiply.

Question

Evaluate:

$\frac{3}{7}$ \div $\frac{7}{3}$

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To divide a term by a fraction, take the reciprocal of the fraction.

Then mutiply both terms.

$\frac{3}{7}$ \div $\frac{7}{3}$= $\frac{3}{7}$ \cdot $\frac{3}{7}$ = $\frac{9}{49}$
