Answer 2

The answer is 16/15.

Given:

3/5

To find:

subtract 3/5 from its reciprocal​

Solution:

First, we have to find reciprocal of 3/5

To find reciprocal we have to divide 1by 3/5

1 ÷3/5

Division sign will be changed to multiplication and fraction will be reversed

= 1* 5/3

= 5/3

Now, we will subtract 3/5 from 5/3

5/3 - 3/5

First we will take 15 as LCM and multiply 5/3 by 5 and 3/5 by 3

= (25 - 9)/15

= 16/15

Hence, the answer is 16/15.
