Answer: The reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5.

Step-by-step explanation: Typically, when you are given a fraction and asked to find the reciprocal, you can simply flip the fraction upside down. This is true because to find the reciprocal is to find the multiplicative inverse, meaning that the product of your original fraction and your reciprocal will equal 1!


(5)/(6) *
(6)/(5)=
(30)/(30) = 1
