Answer:

The reciprocal is 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the reciprocal of a fraction, switch the numerator and the denominator (the top and bottom of the fraction, respectively). So, simply speaking, the reciprocal of a/b is b/a. To find the reciprocal of a number, divide 1 by the number.

Example:

What is a reciprocal of 10?

The opposite of 10 is -10. The reciprocal of 10 is 110 or 0.1
