Answer: YES,
(16)/(10) is the reciprocal of
(5)/(8).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to check whether
(16)/(10) is the reciprocal of
(5)/(8).

We know that

two numbers a and b are reciprocal of each other if


a* b = 1.

We have


(16)/(10)*(5)/(8)=(8)/(5)*(5)/(8)=1.

Therefore,
(16)/(10) is the reciprocal of
(5)/(8).

The answer is YES.
