Find the reciprocal of 8/13
To find the reciprocal of a number or expression, we can use the formula:
Reciprocal = 1 / (number or expression)
a. Let's find the reciprocal of -1/10(-4-7):
First, simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
-1/10(-4-7) = -1/10 * (-11) = -1/10 * -11 = 11/10
Now let's find the reciprocal:
Reciprocal = 1 / (11/10)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
Reciprocal = 1 * (10/11) = 10/11
Therefore, the reciprocal of -1/10(-4-7) is 10/11.
b. Let's find the reciprocal of 1/2 divided by 1/4:
To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(1/2) / (1/4) = (1/2) * (4/1) = 4/2 = 2
Now let's find the reciprocal of 2:
Reciprocal = 1 / 2 = 1/2
Therefore, the reciprocal of 1/2 divided by 1/4 is 1/2.
