For this case, we have by definition, the reciprocal of a fraction of the form
\frac {a} {b} is given by:


\frac {1} {\frac {a} {b}} = \frac {b} {a}

To check we have:


\frac {a * b} {b * a} = 1

So, we look for the reciprocal of
\frac {6} {5}


\frac {1} {\frac {6} {5}} = \frac {5} {6}

Answer:


\frac {5} {6}
