The reciprocal is flipping it over and making the denominator which is 5 the numerator. So just switch the top and bottom numbers to get 5/3.

The reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3.

To get the reciprocal of a fraction, just turn it upside down.

A fraction has a numerator, top number, and a denominator, bottom number.
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, just swap over the numerator and denominator.

If whole numbers, to get the reciprocal of whole number, just divide the whole number by 1 to make it into a fraction, then get the reciprocal of that fraction.
