Answer: In mathematics, the reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by that number. So the reciprocal of 7/9 is 1/(7/9) which can be simplified to 9/7.

Therefore, 9/7 is the number that when multiplied by 7/9 will result in the product of 1.

Another way of arriving at the same solution is to remember that the product of a number and its reciprocal is always 1. In this case, the number is 7/9, and its reciprocal is 9/7.
