Question

To find the reciprocal of a fraction simply interchange the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction​

Answer 1

Notice that the numerator is negative. If we turn this fraction upside down, we should naturally get

Since this is a negative fraction, the negative symbol may not always “follow” the number that it is initially attached to n other words, the negative symbol can stay in the numerator. And so, after inverting the two numbers, the negative symbol is now attached to 2. This is also a valid answer as the reciprocal of the original fraction. There is one more way to write the reciprocal of this negative fraction. The negative symbol may not be attached either to the numerator or denominator. It is also correct to place the negative symbol directly to the left of the fraction bar.

So finally we conclude that, if the fraction is negative its reciprocal can be written three ways.

Negative symbol stays with the numerator

Negative symbol stays with the denominator

Negative symbol stays with the fractional bar

Answer 2

Answer:

it's true.

Step-by-step explanation:

the question may be a true or false question:

the statement is:

To find the reciprocal of a fraction simply interchange the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction​

it's true.

reciprocal means interchange of numerator and denominator.

for example: take the fraction:

2/7

reciprocal is= interchange numerator and denominator

=7/2
