\huge\boxed{\sf{reciprocal\:of\:3=(1)/(3) ; \:reciprocal\:of\: (2)/(3) =}(3)/(2) }


\mathbb{SOLUTION\:WITH\:STEPS:}

Hi! Hope you are having a nice day!

In order to find the reciprocal of a number, all we should do is flop the number over.

Sounds easy, right? Let's find the reciprocal of 3.

What is 3 flopped over? That's right,
\displaystyle(1)/(3).

We found the reciprocal of 3. :)

Now it's time to find the reciprocal of
\displaystyle(2)/(3).

Let's flop it over:


\displaystyle(3)/(2)

Hope you could understand everything.
