Answer 2

Given : The given fraction is = ⁶/₁₇

To find : The product of the given fraction and its reciprocal.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

To solve this mathematical problem, we have to know about the reciprocal of a fraction.

What is the reciprocal of a fraction?

• "If we interchange the numerator and denominator of a given fraction, then the newly obtained fraction will be called the reciprocal of the given fraction."
• Example : If (x/y) is a fraction then its reciprocal will be (y/x).

Similarly,

In the fraction ⁶/₁₇ , the numerator is 6 and denominator is 17. If we interchange them we will get ¹⁷/₆

Their product = ⁶/₁₇ × ¹⁷/₆ = 1

Hence, their product will be 1
