Answer:


(7)/(15)

Explanation:

To find the reciprocal of a fraction, simply switch the numerator and denominator.

Since
2(1)/(7) is a mixed number, start by converting it to a common fraction using
a(b)/(c)\implies (a \cdot c+ b)/(c)

Therefore,
2(1)/(7) as a common fraction is:


(2\cdot 7+1)/(7)=(14+1)/(7)=(15)/(7)

Now switch the numerator and denominator to find the reciprocal:


\rightarrow \boxed{(7)/(15)}
