Reciprocal
it is called a reciprocol
Taking the reciprocal.
you switch the numerator with the denominator then multiply the numerator first then the denominator.
Take the 2nd fraction, switch the denominator with the numerator, multiply across, simplify.
If we convert 179 and 3/8 into a improper fraction, it becomes 1435/8. Also, 2 can be written as 2/1 in fraction form.To divide fractions, we must first switch the numerator and denominator of the second fraction. In this case, the second fraction is 2/1. By switching the numerator and denominator, it becomes 1/2.Then we can turn it into a multiplication problem. Like so:Your problem is now: 1435/8 * 1/2Simplify: 1435/1689.6875 OR 89 and 11/16
it is called a reciprocol
It is called "taking the reciprocal".
Switch the numerator with the denominator.
Taking the reciprocal.
you switch the numerator with the denominator then multiply the numerator first then the denominator.
You Switch The Numerator & Denominator of the second fraction and then you change the division to multiplication. For example: 1/2 divided by 2/3 becomes 1/2 times 3/2, and you would multiply straight across (numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator) to get 3/4.
To find the reciprocal of a fraction, simply flip it over. For example, if you have the fraction 3/4, its reciprocal would be 4/3. Essentially, you swap the numerator and denominator.
Take the 2nd fraction, switch the denominator with the numerator, multiply across, simplify.
The resulting number is the reciprocal of the original number.
inversion
Divide the top number(numerator) by the bottom number(denominator). 3/5 3 divided by 5 =.60 60%
-19/9. When you have a fraction divided by a fraction, you multiply the first fraction by the second fraction flipped over (switch the numerator and denominator). The sevens cancel out, and you are left with -19/9.
