Answer:

Answer to Question 1: 5/28

Answer for Question 2: 4 Rooms

Step-by-step explanation for Question 1:

The reciprocal is basically inverting the number in a fractions.

5 3/5 will convert to: 5/5 + 5/5 + 5/5 + 5/5 + 5/5 +3/5 =28/5

Invert 28/5 and you'll get 5/28 which is the answer

Step-by-step explanation for Question 2:

This one might seem a little over whelming the way I explain it so bare with me :)

Convert 8 4/5 and 2 1/5 the same way as Question 1

8 4/5= 5/5 + 5/5 + 5/5 + 5/5 + 5/5 + 5/5 + 5/5 + 5/5 + 4/5

2 1/5= 5/5 +5/5 + 1/5

When grouping them together you get 4 groups of 2 1/5 (aka:5/5 +5/5 + 1/5)

Hence why the answer is 4 rooms.

I hope this helps :)
