Question 12815: Is it correct to say the reciprocal of .25 is 1/.25 or do you convert the decimal to a fraction 25/100 and then flip? Answer by AdolphousC(70) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Math Teachers in general do not like to have a combination of decimals and fractions, so what you should do is change it to a fraction ( 25/100 ) then flip it as you said to get ( 100/25 ) but make sure you reduce, giving you 4.
