What would be the reciprocal of -0.01 and 2.34, and how can I get them?

reciprocal is number that when times together gets u 1. so 1/-0.01=-100 and 1/2.34=.427...

thank you!

Isn't the reciprocal the opposite sign? so like you have 2 so it would be -2....?

The reciprocal of a number can be found by taking the value 1 and dividing it by the given number. To find the reciprocal of -0.01, you would perform the following calculation:

Reciprocal of -0.01 = 1 / (-0.01)

To divide by a negative number, you should first consider the negative sign separately and then divide as usual. Therefore:

Reciprocal of -0.01 = -(1 / 0.01)

Simplifying the division, you get:

Reciprocal of -0.01 = -100

So, the reciprocal of -0.01 is -100.

Now, let's find the reciprocal of 2.34:

Reciprocal of 2.34 = 1 / 2.34

To divide by a decimal, you need to move the decimal point to the right to convert it into a whole number. Move the decimal point two places to the right:

Reciprocal of 2.34 = 1 / 2.34 = 1 / 234

Now, you can calculate the reciprocal by dividing 1 by 234:

Reciprocal of 2.34 = 0.00427350...

So, the reciprocal of 2.34 is approximately 0.00427350.
