Fractions are always set up with numerator on top and denominator on bottom like so:


(numerator)/(denominator)

To take the reciprocal of a number you must switch the places of numerator and denominator.

Reciprocal of
(7)/(9) is
(9)/(7)

Hope this helped!

Answer:

The reciprocal of
\frac { 7 } { 9 } is
\frac { 9 } { 7 }.

Explanation:

We are asked about the reciprocal of the given fraction
\frac { 7 } { 9 }.

We know that in mathematics, a reciprocal is the multiplicative inverse of a number.

For example, in case of a fraction, its reciprocal will be its inverse which means that we swap the places of numerator and denominator.

So the reciprocal of
\frac { 7 } { 9 } will
\frac { 9 } {7 }.
