Question

What is the reciprocal of 4 and 1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

The reciprocal of 4 is  $\frac{1}{4}$  and 1/2 is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

we are given two real numbers 4 and 1/2

To Find :

Reciprocal of given numbers

Solution :

Since given rational numbers are 4 and 1/2

We have to find reciprocal or inverse of the given rational numbers

The reciprocal of 4

To get the reciprocal of 4 we have to write 4 in the denominator of the fraction whose numerator is 1

the fraction is   $\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4

The reciprocal of 1/2

To get the reciprocal of 1/2 we have to write 1/2 in the denominator of the fraction whose numerator is 1

the fraction is   $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{2}{1}=2$

Therefore the reciprocal of 1/2 is 2

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4} and 2$ is the reciprocal of 4 and $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Given that,  4 and $\frac{1}{2}$.

So, we need to write the reciprocal of 4 and $\frac{1}{2}$.

• Reciprocal - The definition of reciprocal in mathematics is the inverse of a value or a number. If n is a real number, then $\frac{1}{n}$ will be n's reciprocal. Therefore, we must change the number to its upside-down form.

• For example - reciprocal of 5 is $\frac{1}{5}$

Reciprocal of 4 :

We have 4.

So, the reciprocal of 4 is $\frac{1}{4}$.

Reciprocal of $\frac{1}{2}$:

We have  $\frac{1}{2}$

Reciprocal of $\frac{1}{2}$ is 2,

Final answer:

Hence, $\frac{1}{4} and 2$ is the reciprocal of 4 and $\frac{1}{2}$.
