Answer:

Yes, 1/52 is the same as 52/1 because 52/1 is the inversed fraction of 1/52. Inversed fractions is a fraction with the denominator and numerator swapped.

Explanation:

Hope this helped and please tell me if I'm incorrect :)

Answer: No

Explanation:

Because 52/1 is just plain 52

But 1/52 is one thing out of 52 of them.

So 52/1 is just the number 52 versus 1/52 is one of fifty-two.
