Question 428981
To get a reciprocal you simply invert the fraction. For example, the reciprocal of 6/7 is 7/6. Also, the reciprocal of an integer, say -5, is -1/5, and vice versa.


To do the operation "3 divided by 1/4" you reciprocate 1/4 and multiply. Hence, 3 divided by 1/4 is the same as 3 times 4, or 12.
