To find the reciprocal of a fraction, just fill it over. Therefore, the reciprocal of 3/4= 4/3. We can be sure that this is the reciprocal because any number multiplied by its reciprocal gives the product of 1:

`(3)/(4) * (4)/(3) = 1`

Answer 2

To find the reciprocal of a fraction, we want to switch the numerator and the denominator to get the improper fraction 4/3.

Just switch the places of the numbers.
