3 1/4

Pronounced three and one-fourths.

Make this mixed number into an improper fraction.

Improper fraction : (4 × 3) + 1 = 13/4

So, now you have 13/4.

A reciprocal is basically just when you switch the numerator (top number) with the denominator (bottom number).

So, the reciprocal is : 4/13

~Hope I helped!~
