Answer 2

RECIPROCAL:

If p/q is a number, then q/p is called as the reciprocal(multiplicative inverse).

If p/q*q/p=1 then q/p can be called as a reciprocal of p/q.

Answers:

1. 5/7's reciprocal is 7/5.
2. 8/7's reciprocal is 7/8.
3. 13/7's reciprocal is 7/13.
4. 3/4's reciprocal is 4/3.

We can check by multiplying the number and it's reciprocal.

If the product is 1 the we can confirm that the number is the given number's reciprocal.
