the reciprocal of 2 over 9 is 9 over 2
[object Object]
1 is the reciprocal of 1.
In mathematics to form the reciprocal of a quantity is to divide one by that quantity:The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2.The reciprocal of a-b is 1/(a-b).
-2 (divide 1 by -0.5)
To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal. This is related to the facts that (1) division is the opposite of multiplication, and (2) a reciprocal is the multiplicative "opposite" of a number.
The reciprocal of [ 2 over 3 ] is [ 3 over 2].1 / (2/3) = (3/2).
the reciprocal of 1 over 2, is 2. reciprocal just means you flip the numbers over, in this case it leaves 2 over 1 which is the same as 2 divided by 1 which is 2. for example the reciprocal of 10 is 1 over 10 and the reciprocal over 1 over 7 is 7.
1/2. Reciprocal is the term inverted so 2 over 1 becomes 1 over 2
-2 (divide 1 by -0.5)
To divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal. This is related to the facts that (1) division is the opposite of multiplication, and (2) a reciprocal is the multiplicative "opposite" of a number.
If you mean to divide 2 by the fraction 7/8, that is the same as multiplying with the reciprocal: 2 x 8/7.If you mean to divide 2 by the fraction 7/8, that is the same as multiplying with the reciprocal: 2 x 8/7.If you mean to divide 2 by the fraction 7/8, that is the same as multiplying with the reciprocal: 2 x 8/7.If you mean to divide 2 by the fraction 7/8, that is the same as multiplying with the reciprocal: 2 x 8/7.
Reciprocal in math means to flip a number. 2x can also be expressed as 2/1 (2 over 1) x. So the reciprocal of 2x is 1/2 (one over two) x.
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. In this instance, 5/8 / 1/4 = 5/8 x 4 = 20/8 or 2 1/2.
The reciprocal of any number x is equal to 1/x. In this case, x = -2/7. Therefore the reciprocal of -2/7 is: 1/(-2/7) Now to simplify remember that when you divide by a fraction, it is the same as multiplying by the same number except with the numerator and denominator flipped. In this case: 1/(-2/7) = 1*(-7/2) = -7/2 or -3.5
A reciprocal is 1 divided by a number. So, the reciprocal of x is 1/x. For example: The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 is 0.5 The reciprocal of 9 is 1/9 is 0.111111111111 The reciprocal of 0.5 is 1/0.5 is 2. To divide one by a number is called 'taking the reciprocal.' If you have a fraction, taking the reciprocal is fairly easy: simply 'flip' it. I.e., put the numerator in the denominator, and the denominator in the numerator. For example: The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2 The reciprocal of 7/8 is 8/7 The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4 (/1). The technical mathematical definition of the reciprocal of x is: "The number which, when multiplied by x, gives one."
to divide a number by any fraction you can multiply by the reciprocal ex) 5/(1/2)=5*(2/1)=5*2=10
When you divide by a fraction, you are multiplying by it's reciprocal or opposite. So if you are dividing by 1/2, it is the same thing as multiplying by 2/1.
divide 3.845/.5 remember, when you divide by a fraction(decimal) you use the reciprocal and multiply so .5= one half 1/2 reciprocal=2 3.845 x 2 = 7.69
