1/3 and 5 because 3/1 is three and 1/3 is the opposite while 1/5 is 5/1 which is 5.

To find the reciprocal of 3 and 1/5, first you have to put it into a improper fraction.

3=5/5*3=15/3
15/3+1/5=16/3

3 1/5=16/3

To find the reciprocal, you simply flip the top and the bottom.
3/16

Hope this helps!
