For the whole numbers all you have to do is put the number over one.

Because if you simplify - for example - 5/1

You'll get 5

For 1 and 3/4 you have to turn it into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole by the denominator

1 x 4

Then add the numerator

1 x 4 = 4 + 3

And since 1 x 4 = 4 + 3 = 7

7 will be your numerator replacing 3

7/4

But you must keep the denominator or the fraction wouldn't make sense

7 = 7/1

10 = 10/1 Hope I helped :)

1 3/4 = 7/4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The inverse of the numbers/fractions would just be switching the numbers ...

Example :


7/1 = 1/7

10/1 = 1/10

7/4 = 4/7

The example above shows and inverse :)

7=7/1

10=10/1

1+3/4=4/4+3/4=7/4

------------------------

Inverse of 7 is 1/7.

Inverse of 10 is 1/10.

Inverse of 1+3/4 is 1/(1+3/4)=1/(7/4)=(1/1)*(4/7)=4/7.
