hello!

In order to find the reciprocal of a number, we should just flop it over.

If we have a fraction, then the numerator & denominator switch places.

Please consult the following formula for more details:-


\tt{The~reciprocal~of~a~is~(1)/(a) }

According to the formula, the reciprocal of 80 is:-


\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{(1)/(80) }}}\longleftarrow\text{the reciprocal of 80}}}

Decimal form:-


\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{0.0125}}}\longleftarrow\sf{decimal~form}}

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)
