Answer:

The reciprocal of a number is obtained by flipping the numerator and denominator. In this case, the reciprocal of -1/3 is -3/1 or simply -3.

To solve the equation, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the rational coefficient, which in this case is -3.

By doing this, we get (-3)(-1/3k) = (-3)(27), which simplifies to k = -81.

Therefore, to solve the equation -1/3k = 27, you would multiply both sides by -3.

to find the reciprocal or inverse of the rational coefficient 2/3, we flip the numerator and denominator to get 3/2.

we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the rational coefficient, which in this case is 3/2.

By doing this, we get (3/2)(2/3d) = (3/2)(1/6), which simplifies to d = 1/4.

Therefore, to solve the equation 2/3d = 1/6, you would multiply both sides by 3/2.
