Question

Which of the following is a reciprocal of 5

Answer 1

Answer:
`(1)/(5)`

Explanation:

Reciprocal means the multiplicative inverse of a number. It means the numerator and the denominator which their places.

Since 5 does not have a denominator, we can keep the denominator as 1. The fraction will be
`(5)/(1)`. Now when we switch the numerator and denominator, we will get
`(1)/(5)`.

Answer 2

Hi :)

The reciprocal of 5 is 1/5.

Every number has a reciprocal except 0.

For example

5/1 is just 5 but the reciprocal of that would be 1/5.

Essentially flipping the fraction.
