Question

find the reciprocal of the following fractions classify the reciprocals as proper fractions , improper fractions and whole number (i) 3by7 ​

Answer 1

reciprocal of 3/7=7/3

In proper fraction smallest number in top ,highest number in down,

so,

it has been changed into 3/7

In improper fraction highest number in down,smallest number is top,

so,

it has been changed into 7/3

In whole number 3/7=0.428571429

Answer 2

Answer:

7/3, improper fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

If a fraction is a/b, its reciprocal is just the opposite, ie b/a.

Given fraction = a/b = 3/7

Therefore, reciprocal = b/a = 7/3

We also know:

1. If numerator < denominator, then the fraction is a proper fraction
2. If numerator > denominator, then the fraction is an improper fraction
3. If numerator = denominator, then it is a whole number or 1.
4. If numerator not equal to denominator but is divisible by denominator, then fraction is a whole number.

So, 7/3 satisfies condition number 2, so it is an improper fraction.

Therefore, reciprocal of 3/7 is 7/3 and is an improper fraction.
