Answer 2

Given,

Multiply 6 by 13 by the reciprocal of -17 by 16

To Find,

6/13 * reciprocal of -17/16 =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is given that we have to find the solution of 6 by 13 multiplied by the reciprocal of -17 by 16.

To find the reciprocal of a fraction, we switch the numerator and denominator with each other.

Therefore, the reciprocal of -17/16 will be equal to -16/17.

$Reciprocal\: of\: -\frac{17}{16} = -\frac{16}{17}$

Now, we will multiply 6/13 with -16/17.
